Destiny

A Napoleon and Josephine Historical Romance Short Story

By: Jenna K. Lawson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The year is 1795 and Napoleon Bonaparte is a Corsican serving in the French military. His personality is fire and ice personified -- passionate, temperamental, and pragmatic to the extreme. He is engaged to Desiree Clary, or Eugenie as he affectionately nicknamed her, but the allure of Parisian women poses a temptation to seek a more strategic alliance, one that will help connect him with prominent figures that may serve his rise to power. The tables are turned on him, however, when he meets Rose de Beauharnais, a beautiful and charming widow with two children. Rose intrigues him with her strength, having survived the Reign of Terror. In a time marked by sexual liberation and tumultuous politics, Napoleon begins a journey of romantic and sexual awakening that will shape his destiny for the rest of his life.

'Destiny' may be the first in a long series of short stories that chronicles the passionate, intense, and often tumultuous relationship of one of the most famous love stories in history.

Note: This book falls under the category of historical romance and does contain sexual content. Some artistic license was taken, though a lot of research has gone into this series.
