Book description
George III was certain that the shadowy charm of Hannah, the vital
beauty of Sarah, would cease to torment him once he was married to
Charlotte. But Charlotte was unexciting, and he could not help his
heart beating faster every time he saw a beautiful woman.
Surrounded by the great and the notorious, the King was beset by
political anxieties, humiliated by the loss of the American colonies,
and distressed at the scandals in the royal family.
The King's sister was tried for treason and adultery, but the
greatest scandal of all was created by his eldest son-the handsome,
willful, pleasure-seeking Prince of Wales.
Jean Plaidy, one of the preeminent authors of historical fiction for

author Eleanor Hibbert, also known as Victoria Holt. Jean Plaidy's
novels had sold more than 14 million copies worldwide by the time of her
death in 1993.
