Set firmly in Elizabethan times this historical romance is one that will keep you turning the pages when you should be doing something else – like your homework.

Emerald is going to be betrothed to the horribly revolting Lord Suckley. She absolutely hates the sight of him and can’t see any way out of her dilemma.

Sure he’s rich, but he stinks and his breath smells like a sewer. Not her idea of a marriage partner at all. But worse than that the man she truly loves is far away and she can’t reach him to help her out. Her pet is going to be sacrificed and if that’s not all she somehow finds herself involved in a plot to poison Queen Elizabeth 1.

Taking drastic measures and with the help of her servant she transforms herself from a country miss to a lady of the Court. She sets out to sort things out for herself while all the while planning to beat the plotters at their own game, thereby saving the kingdom and finding true love along the way.

Twists and turns, plots and sub plots, love, romance, treachery and death are woven into this absolutely enthralling trip into historical fiction.
