Watch the Lady (The Tudor Trilogy)

Penelope Devereux is a legendary beauty in the court of Elizabeth I, but it's not just her looks which have won her favour. With her canny instinct for being in the right place at the right time, and her skilled political manoeuvrings, she has become a formidable adversary to anyone who stands in her path. Including Elizabeth. For Penelope must secure the future of the Devereux dynasty at whatever cost. Even treason. And the Queen, a woman she holds responsible for the death of her father, the exile of her mother and her failure to marry the one man she ever truly loved, is just one more pawn in a deadly game.
