Although it was illegal, secret, and against the express
commands of his famously mad father, King George IV of
England married twice—once for duty and once for love. While
Caroline of Brunswick eventually became his lawful queen, it
was the beautiful Maria Fitzherbert, recognized as his wife
by the Catholic Church but not by the laws of England, who
claimed his heart.
In the hands of author Diane Haeger, their relationship
becomes a mesmerizing love story, filled with intrigue and
passion. The characters and drawing rooms of 18th Century
England come alive to create a portrait of the age that is
colorful and resonant with historical detail.
