♥ A captivating romance!
From Devon Royal with her mom, New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal, comes her first novel featuring the Tudor origins of their beloved “outrageously funny, loyal, and endearing” Chase family!
As a ward of the king, Lady Alice Hawthorne was reared in Henry VIII’s royal court, a world of riches, pageantry, and bloodthirsty political factions. Her upbringing has made her an expert in staying out of trouble…until she reaches marriageable age. Now an abominable betrothal throws her future into chaos and starts a chain of events that leaves her abandoned, out in the cold, and at the mercy of—well, the rather gallant and good-looking Adam Chase…
As a newly minted earl, Adam already staggers beneath the weight of his responsibilities, which include his own impending marriage, a failing estate, and the charge of four bickering younger sisters. But a gentleman cannot ignore a lady in distress (especially a pretty one), so when he crosses paths with Alice, he takes in the secretive stranger. Too bad her secrets connect her to a treasonous plot involving the princess Elizabeth, and now Adam’s whole family will be implicated. At least getting thrown in prison will save him the trouble of being betrothed to one woman while he’s falling for another…
