In Love's Own Time
Forbidden Desire, Undying Love
Although beautiful and desirable, Blanche appears destined for a bleak, lonely existence. As the illicit half-sister to Margaret of Anjou, the bride of Henry VI, King of England, she is suspended between the irreconcilable worlds of royalty and shameful illegitimacy. She gets a second chance at life when Margaret makes her a lady-in-waiting at Court - and a chance at love when she meets handsome, gallant Sir Charles Seintleger. But each is honor-bound to another: Charles to a woman he does not love; Blanche to her selfish, frightened sister. Unable to resist, they succumb to their all too urgent desires. After enjoying one precious moment of perfect rapture, they part, knowing they may never meet again.
During the bitter and tumultuous War of the Roses, fate sweeps them through years of political intrigue and personal tragedy, briefly reuniting them - only to dash their hopes for happiness and cruelly wrench them apart. The unforgettable story of star-crossed lovers whose passion for each other would not die.

August 25, 2012Just found this on the author's website where she lists her books,
"And two other historical novels I never admit to and would beg you to ritually burn if you find them. Sometimes newbie editors make a hash of book. Sometimes it's the writer who messes it up all by herself.
I believe this is one of the two.
