Frances discards threadbare gowns and goes to gilded Fontainebleau Palace, where she soon catches the Sun King's eye. But Frances is no ordinary court beauty--she has Stuart secrets to keep and her family to protect. King Louis XIV turns vengeful when she rejects his offer to become his Official Mistress. He sends her to England with orders to seduce King Charles II and help him form an alliance with England. The Queen Mother likewise orders Frances to become her son's mistress, in the interest of luring him away from the Protestant mistress he currently keeps. Armed in pearls and silk, Frances maneuvers the political turbulence of Whitehall Palace, but still can't afford to stir a scandal, determined to keep her family from shame. Her tactic to inspire King Charles to greatness captivates him and the two embark on a tenuous relationship. Frances survives the Great Fire, the Great Plague, and the debauchery of the Restoration Court, yet loses her heart to the very king she must control. A startling discovery will leave her with no other choice but to break his heart, while the fate of England hangs in the balance. 600 10 $a Richmond and Lennox, Frances Teresa Stuart, $c Duchess of, $d 1648-1702 $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Louis $b XIV, $c King of France, $d 1638-1715 $v Fiction. 600 00 $a Charles $b II, $c King of England, $d 1630-1685 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Courts and courtiers $v Fiction. 651 0 $a France $x Kings and rulers $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Kings and rulers $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Restoration, 1660-1688 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 9 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430015537.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909031847.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204072649.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110054608.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006074118.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720042843.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20150227023714.0 952 $l KIPA631 $d 20140313144329.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20140304014622.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=05F6A1AAA36B11E3A3DF8D90DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
