Royal Mistress: A Novel

Jane Lambert, the quick-witted and alluring daughter of a silk merchant, is twenty-two and still unmarried. When Janeâ€™s father finally finds her a match, sheâ€™s married off to the dull, older silk merchant William Shore. Marriage doesnâ€™t stop Jane from flirtation, however, and when the kingâ€™s chamberlain, Will Hastings, comes to her husbandâ€™s shop, Will knows King Edward 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 those of Jane and Will Hastings, hangs in the balance. Jane must rely on her talents to survive as the new monarch, Richard III, bent on reforming his brotherâ€™s licentious court, ascends the throne.

This dramatic tale has been an inspiration to poets and playwrights for five hundred years, and, as told through the unique perspective of a woman plucked from obscurity and thrust into a life of notoriety, Royal Mistress is sure to enthrall todayâ€™s historical fiction lovers as well.
