Elizabethan glamour and intrigue abound in this heart-pounding Maids of Honor novel, which Kirkus Reviews called âa quick-paced romanceâ that will âthrill and engage readers with a penchant for history.â
Beatrice Knowles is a Maid of Honor, one of Queen Elizabethâs secret protectors, who has proven herself to be a valuable asset in the Queenâs courtâor so she thinks. It has been three weeks since the Maids thwarted a plot to overthrow the Queen, and Beatrice is preparing to wed her betrothed, Lord Cavanaugh. However, her plans come to a crashing halt as rumors of a brewing Scottish rebellion spread among the court.
Beatriceâs new assignment is to infiltrate the visiting Scottish delegation using her uncanny ability to manipulate hearts. The mission seems simple enough, until the Queen sets Beatrice up for failure by pairing her with the worst of the lotâAlasdair MacLeod. But Alasdair could be the key to unlocking the truth about the rebellionâŠand her heart. Caught in a web of ever-more-twisting lies, Beatrice must rise up among the Maids of Honor and prove what sheâs known all along: in a court filled with deception and danger, love may be the deadliest weapon of all.
