SummaryThe acclaimed author of Duchess and Royal Harlot returns
with the unforgettable story of a king's last love and
London's darling...
Nell Gwyn has never been a lady, nor does she pretend to be.
Blessed with impudent wit and saucy beauty, she swiftly
rises from the poverty of Covent Garden to become a
sensation in the theater. Still in her teens, she catches
the eye of King Charles II, and trades the stage for
Whitehall Palace—and the role of royal mistress.
Even though she delights the king, she must learn to
negotiate the cutthroat royal court, where ambition and lust
for power rule the hearts of all around her. For beneath her
charm and light-heartedness, Nell has her own
ambition—to become no less than the king's favorite.
