Royal Harlot Giveaway!

 

Synopsis  London, 1660: Ready to throw off a generation of Puritan rule, all England rejoices when Charles Stuart returns to reclaim the throne. Among those welcoming him is young Barbara Villiers Palmer, a breathtaking Royalist beauty whose sensuality and clever wit instantly captivate the handsome, jaded king. Though each is promised to another, Barbara soon becomes Charles's mistress and closest friend, and the uncrowned queen of his bawdy Restoration court. Rewarded with titles, land, and jewels, she is the most envied and desired woman in England--and the most powerful. But the role of royal mistress is a precarious one, and Barbara's enemies and rivals are everywhere in the palace.

Giveaway 411:
  • Giveaway ends on May 19th. Winner will be announced on May 20th.
  • Open to all domestic and international entries. Passages loves our neighbors across the water =)
  • For 5 additional entries sign up as a follower; if you already are a follower you will automatically get this.
  • For another additional one entry, post about this giveaway. 
Good luck to all!

Amy, I'm delighted to see ROYAL HARLOT as one of your giveaways! For anyone on the fence about entering, here's the link to my website and the first chapter: http://www.susanhollowayscott.com/books/harlotpreview.htm

To all you Tudor fans: believe me, the court of Charles II in the 1660s is every bit as bawdy, extravagant, and full of intrigue as Henry VIII's was a century before -- and no one loses their heads. :)

Happy reading, everyone, and good luck in Amy's contest!

Amy @ Passages to the Past said...
