In a world of
wealth, power, and privilege ...
love is the only forbidden luxury.
“Trust was a valuable commodity at court. Traded by everyone, but
possessed by no one. Its rarity was surpassed only by love. Love implied
commitment and how could any of us commit ourselves to any but the
Queen? Love implied singularity and how could any of us benefit another
if our affections were bound to one in exclusivity? Love was never
looked for and rarely found. When it was, it always ended badly.”
In Queen
Elizabeth’s court where men and women willingly trade virtue for power,
is it possible for Marget to obtain her heart’s desire or is the promise
of love only an illusion?
A riveting
glimpse into Queen Elizabeth's Court ...
Born with the face of an angel, Marget Barnardsen has always been
fortunate. Now, with her marriage to an earl, her security - and destiny
- are guaranteed.
But when her introduction to court goes awry, the queen's wrath turns to
Marget. Fearing she may lose her husband forever - and all that he has
gained - she'll risk everything to gain favor with the queen, and her
husband, again. Even her life.
