This Ravaged Heart (Dandridge Trilogy #1)
Barbara Riefe

A powerful story of one woman's tender love and another's overwhelming jealousies. Their struggle for the same man sweeps across continents and across time - from the 19th century world of aristocratic splendor to plague-ridden London; from the heights of passion to the darkest pits of hell. It is a magnificent novel of star-crossed lovers caught in a web of horror.
