✦ Synopsis

Although it was illegal, secret, and against the express command of his famously mad father, King George IV of England married twice - once for duty and once for love. While Caroline of Brunswick eventually became his lawful queen, it was the beautiful Maria Fitzherbert, recognized as his wife by the Catholic Church but not by the laws of England, who claimed his heart. In the hands of author Diane Haeger, their relationship becomes a mesmerizing love story, filled with intrigue and passion. The characters and drawing rooms of early nineteenth-century England come alive to create a sexy and vibrant portrait of the age that is colorful and resonant with historical detail.
