Publisher's summary

Married to one man. Desiring another...

Beautiful Lady Anne Stafford, lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine of Aragon, is torn between her love for her husband, George, Lord Hastings...and the king’s boon companion, the attentive Sir William Compton. But when King Henry VIII, amorous as always, joins the men clustering around her, Anne realizes she has become perilously enmeshed in the intrigues of the court. Will she be forced to decide between the two men she desires - and the one she doesn’t?

Kate Emerson charms again with a heroine who steps out of the pages of history to win our hearts in this sumptuous novel of Tudor scandal and intrigue.

Good book. Easy listen.

Well written entertaining novel about the life of Anne Stafford who is believed to be an early mistress of Henry VIII. She was sister to the highest duke in the realm, Duke of Buckingham. This story will be most interesting to those who don't know the details of the Duke. But it is still an entertaining story for those who do.
Excellent narrator makes this an enjoyable easy-listen.

Very Long and Boring At Times

Glad I read it because I learned a lot about Buckingham but I wanted it to end so badly many times
