It is said life only brings you one great love. Not everything they say is true.
Bethina Lydia Fortescue, the Lady Godwin, adored her king as
no other for twenty years. But the king
is dead, and as his mere mistress she is no longer welcome at court.
Sir Arthur Jeffries, newly appointed to Princess Meredith's
Regency Council, needs help. He begs the
legendary Lady Godwin to return to the palace as the princess' tutor, hopefully
to lead the gawky teenager through the political and romantic minefield of
suitors and hidden assassins invited to attend her Debutante Ball.
Bethina and Arthur fight the undeniable surge of attraction
between them. Bethina cannot bring herself to put aside the love she had for
her king, and now concern for his heir. Arthur knows that he will only be able
to serve the princess if he continues his life of solitude. Now is no time to
take a courtesan to bed.
Brought together as servants to Rushton's crown, but joined
through a lifetime of bitter and shrewd experiences, Bethina and Arthur
discover that when the princess finally takes a husband, and all the enemies of
the land are vanquished, they will have only one thing left to live for: love.
