About this ebook
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Border Chronicles comes a novel of Florentine historical romance—the continuing saga of The Silk Merchant’s Daughters...
After her sisters become the scandals of Florence, Lucianna Pietro d’Angelo finds that the only wealthy man who’ll have her for his wife is an aging bookseller whom Lucianna comforts in his final years. When he passes away, she inherits his shop—and a sizable fortune affording Lucianna comfort in widowhood. Then Robert Minton, Earl of Lisle, visits her bookshop. The Englishman is not only dashing and handsome, he’s a trusted courtier of Henry VII.
Lucianna’s parents cannot deny the spark of attraction between their daughter and the earl, so they scheme to send her to London. There, Lucianna steps out of the shadow of her quiet Florentine life, pursuing a love she never dreamed possible—one unfolding in the court of the new Tudor king.

Of all Beatrice Small's books (and I've read them all) this was the most disappointing! It seemed written by a child with very little thought or emotion. Don't bother

I love this author but some things were repeated like lambert simnel and she did tell him she loved him from the first moment she saw him before they were married and then after they were married she said she just cared for him because she didn't know what love was

I have been reading Beatrice Small since the Kaden in which led to all the O'Malley novels! I used to say you need your lover if your reading her books! I love this author! There is everything I like to read in one book! There is laughter,tears, suspense,fear,history, accurate history I should say! Murder and meyham and everything I can think of! I must say thank you for all of those things! I can't put them down!
