Marguerite de Valois is the
most beautiful woman in the French Court, and the subject of
great scandal and intrigue. Margot loves Henri of Guise but
is married off to the Huguenot Henry of Navarre. By this
means her mother Catherine de Medici hopes to bring peace to
the realm.
But
within days of the wedding the streets of Paris are awash
with blood in the Massacre of Saint Bartholomew. Not only is
her new husband’s life in danger, but her own too as her
mother and brother hold them hostage in the Louvre. Can they
ever hope to escape and keep their heads? In a court rife
with murder, political intrigue, debauchery, jealousy and
the hunger for power, it will not be an easy task.

It seems as though Livia, Ella and Maggie Angel lead a
charmed life on a large country estate. But since the death
of their mother, their family home has been far from a quiet

When the
sisters discover their father had an affair many years ago,
which resulted in the birth of a baby girl, they determine
to find their half-sister, and their search begins in the
local workhouse. Mercy had been unaware of her connection
to the rich Angel family until her mother’s death-bed
confession, and once she knows, she’s not at all sure that
she wants to be part of the family after all …
