The Courtier's Secret
Coming soon from Kensington Books. Louis XIV is the greatest king France has ever known, bringing his country to a dazzling glory while igniting the first sparks of lower class depravation that would eventually light the flames of revolution. It is a time when women are forced into lives of trivial matters and blind obedience. The Courtier's Secret is the story of one woman who dares to defy the norms. Set amidst the stunning Chateau Versailles at the pinnacle of its glory, the story chronicles the lives of its courtiers, those willing to spend their entire lives in subservience to King Louis and his whims, and of one who fights against them. Jeanne Yvette Mas du Bois fights against an arranged marriage to a weak, ineffectual, effeminate man of her father's choosing; she fights with a small, dedicated group of Musketeers to save the life of the Queen of France; and she fights for the true love of her life.
