The Maid of Honour - Woodham, #4 - E-book - ePub

Plague and fire will pull them asunder. But love will overcome.  In a privileged role as Maid of Honor to the Queen of England, Miss Mary Hook should be content, but her companions' lack of morals makes her miserable. When the plague forces the Royal court to leave London, Mary is happy to leave the vice and frivolity behind. Only to find that the reputation of light-skirts follows her, regardless of how wrong the assumption is.  Back home in the countryside village of Woodham, Mr Francis Hartwell disapproves of her friendship with his sister.
He can't believe that Mary won't be a bad influence and lead her astray. Then the plague hits the Hartwell household, trapping Mary in the house with them to contain the disease. And when she succumbs to illness, it's not her friend who tends her back to health, but scandalously, the Master of the household himself! With danger and rich historical detail, fans of sweet and clean historical romance will relish this Tudor and Stuarts era piece for the wealth of intriguing domestic history and the heart-pounding events that shaped England.
