Book Description
Mistress Mary Shelton is Queen Elizabeth’s favorite ward, enjoying every privilege the position affords. The British queen loves Mary like a daughter, and, like any good mother, she wants her to make a powerful match. The most likely prospect: Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford. But while Oxford seems to be everything the queen admires: clever, polished and wealthy, Mary knows him to be lecherous, cruel, and full of treachery. No matter how hard the queen tries to push her into his arms, Mary refuses.
Instead, Mary falls in love with a man who is completely unsuitable. Sir John Skydemore is a minor knight with little money, a widower with five children. Worst of all, he’s a Catholic at a time when Catholic plots against Elizabeth are rampant in England. The queen forbids Mary to wed the man she loves. When the young woman, who is the queen’s own flesh and blood, defies her, the couple finds their very lives in danger as Elizabeth’s wrath knows no bounds.

Sounds like a great read. Looking forward to the opportunity to win this one. Thanks!
Sounds very interesting! I’d love to add this to my collection.
This one sounds exciting! Both Mary and Elizabeth then had fallen for unsuitable men. Could Elizabeth perhaps have been a bit put out that Mary could freely accept hers, but as Queen, she could not? Interesting!
This looks like another great book! Thank you!
