Do you know what you really want? Lady Elizabeth Darby is thrilled when her husband is given a position on the king’s privy council. The gowns, the jewels, and the jealous looks from ladies who previously paid her little attention all seem like a dream come true. Of course, it also means her husband spends all his time by the king’s side, but Elizabeth is happy to throw herself into the role of the perfect courtier’s wife, attending events and entertaining visitors. It’s only when one particularly charming ambassador from France pays her special attention that Elizabeth realizes how lonely her life has become. Outside of her best friend, does she have any real connections? Elizabeth yearns to reclaim her marriage. But, as her husband continues to choose duty over their relationship, it becomes increasingly hard for her to deny her attraction to the ambassador and his easy smiles and smooth compliments. Ultimately, Elizabeth must decide what she really wants and whether she’s willing to risk everything for the mysterious visitor. Praise for The French “Gripping, sensual, and full of intrigue. You will lose yourself in this historical romance.”
