Europe. 1925.

In the years just before World War II, years of wild pleasure before the darkness, there lived an enchanting young girl, Jacqueline. A woman of strength and passion, she bewitched men with her beauty. Ravished by a king-to-be, pursued by a powerful Nazi leader, Jacqueline was always sought after, but the passion she yearned for always eluded her.

Absconding with her illegitimate baby son Jean-Jacques to live with a Jewish uncle in Berlin, she witnesses first hand the savage cruelty of the rising Nazi regime. Forced to escape once more, she flees to Italy with the help of Count Marco Luzzi di Calitri, but she's soon captured and put on a train to a concentration camp with other Enemies of the Reich. Falling for fellow prisoner David, the pair make plans for their plucky escape from torture and certain death.

From the gilded palaces of Bucharest to the ancient hills of Rome, from the high society of Berlin to the glittering cafes of Paris, will Jacqueline find the love she'd always dreamed of?
