Description

Ny Times-Bestselling author Virginia Henley weaves a fascinating tale of love and interest in England's Golden-Age-in which a lady's careless look for journey brings her to the person meant to declare her, Catherine Seton Spencer, a maiden of Queen Elizabeth's court, is cursed with improvisation. When she meets Patrick Hepburn, who's browsing the courtroom following a tour of duty patrolling the Scottish borderlands, Cat thinks he's an arrogant brute-and Patrick thinks Cat's a ruined shrew. Split by culture and loyalties, but bound by wish that pushes them into one another's hands, Kitten and Patrick end up within an elaborate web of danger and deceit that threatens to tear the lovers apart -and affect the throne.
