♥ A runaway bride-to-be ♥ A daring disguise ♥ A plethora of Royal palaces ♥ A close-knit, meddling family ♥ 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… BOOK DETAILS A complete, standalone story—no cliffhangers!

Edward I and his offspring, especially Edward II, are not shrouded by the mists of time. Edward I’s two sons and daughter by his second marriage are lesser known, especially the eldest, Thomas Plantagenet of Brotherton. He made no particular impression on history, despite being Earl of Norfolk and Earl Marshal, but Thomas did father three children. Of these, only one is usually remembered: Margaret of Norfolk. Indomitable, defiant, respected and fiercely intelligent, she defied her cousin Edward III more than once and outlived most of her family. Her brother Edward of Norfolk died young but her sister, Alice of Norfolk, survived childhood. But not for long. In 1338, by the time she was fourteen, Alice was married to Sir Edward Montagu, younger brother of the famous earl of Salisbury, William Montagu and Bishop of Ely, Simon Montagu. Edward was a warrior knight at Crecy, involved in the wars with Scotland, loyal to his brother and his king. The marriage produced five children within a decade, but by 1350 Edward Montagu was showing his dark side and was part of the knightly criminal gangs that terrorized local areas. One day in June 1351, Alice of Norfolk paid the price. Despite being a Plantagenet, daughter of an earl, granddaughter, niece and cousin to kings, Alice of Norfolk has mostly been forgotten. Even looking at contemporary records, Alice hardly features apart from land and property dealings with her husband. A dusty reference to the unfortunate circumstances of her death marks the end of her life and one which will more than likely remain a mystery.
