In her latest short story of almost 14,000 words Paige explores pre-revolutionary France. It is 1789, a dangerous time to be alive in Paris, the scent of revolution hangs in the air. The poor are starving and the aristocracy are oblivious to what is happening around them. All the revolution needs is access to the keys to the Bastille and the layout of the grandest of all palaces; the Palace of Versailles.

Marie-Louise works as a personal maid to a rich heiress in an expensive part of Paris. In many ways she leads a privileged life, the hours may be long and the pay poor, but at least she has food to eat and somewhere to sleep off the streets. With her full figure and flame red hair she could be just what the revolution needs – men are putty in her hands and she learns that what money cannot buy, her body can.

Will she be the key to the revolution? Will she be able to obtain the plans to the palace? Putting aside feelings of shame and humiliation she does what she must to secure the freedom of the man she loves and join in the fight for social justice in revolutionary France.
