{SYNOPSIS}
From the author of A Rose for the Crown and Daughter of York
comes another engrossing historical novel of the York family in the
Wars of the Roses, telling the fascinating story of the rise and fall of
the final and favorite mistress of Edward IV.
Jane Lambert, the
quick-witted and alluring daughter of a silk merchant, is twenty-two and
still unmarried. When Jane’s father finally finds her a match, she’s
married off to the dull, older silk merchant William Shore—but her heart
belongs to another. Marriage doesn’t stop Jane Shore from flirtation,
however, and when the king’s chamberlain and friend, Will Hastings,
comes to her husband’s shop, Will knows his King will find her
irresistible.
Edward IV has everything: power, majestic bearing, superior military leadership, a sensual nature, and charisma. And with Jane as his mistress, he also finds true happiness. But when his hedonistic tendencies get in the way of being the strong leader England needs, his life, as well as that of Jane Shore and Will Hastings, hang in the balance.
This dramatic tale has been an inspiration to poets and playwrights for 500 years, and told through the unique perspective of a woman plucked from obscurity and thrust into a life of notoriety, Royal Mistress is sure to enthrall today’s historical fiction lovers as well.

ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything by her but that's about to change. She writes about the eras I love.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to this one as well :) Sounds like a historical Pretty Woman :p
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting novel. I am still so amazed at how beautiful married women were "selected" to be mistresses to royalty. I'm really looking forward to reading Jane's story. Sounds great!
