Description
A new novel of love and war set in 17th-century England-from the acclaimed author of The Code of Love. Praised for her "lavish use of history...and vividly detailed settings,"* Cheryl Sawyer sweeps readers back to 17th-century England at the time of the Civil War, where a royal duchess and a warrior prince fight to save a riven kingdom. Mary Villiers, Duchess of Richmond and Lennox, is a ravishing beauty raised as the adopted daughter of Charles I of England. In 1642 she is shocked to find herself opposed to her king when he decides to declare war on Parliament and therefore on his own people. Mary embarks on a dangerous quest to help save the throne of England for its rightful monarch, but first she'll tangle with the king's charismatic nephew, Prince Rupert of the Rhine.
Description
When war breaks out between King Charles I and the English Parliament, both Mary Villiers, the Duchess of Richmond, and her husband, James Stuart, are determined to support their monarch and his wife, Queen Henrietta-Maria. But Mary finds her efforts to help restore peace between the King and parliament complicated by the queen's nephew, Prince Rupert of Bohemia. Not only does Rupert believe war is the only way to bring parliament to heel, his flirtatious manner with Mary soon has the king's enemies whispering about a scandalous affair.
