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.

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
ReplyDeleteTo 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!
Wow...aren't authors the coolest! Thanks for stopping by Susan and giving us a special glimpse into Royal Harlot! Everyone seems really excited to read it!
