The Pretender's Wife
About this ebook
On a bright November morning, Lady Catherine Gordon arrives at Stirling Castle to marry a man she has never met. This handsome stranger, a controversial newcomer at the court of King James IV, swears that he is Richard Plantagenet - one of the young princes thought murdered in the Tower twelve years earlier.
King James recognises Richard as the rightful King of England. Catrina believes and loves him. One day she will be his queen, if he can overthrow the usurper Henry, first sovereign of the Tudor dynasty.
But when Richard invades England to proclaim himself King, it is a journey fraught with danger. For the Tudors have another name for Catrina's husband - Perkin Warbeck, the Pretender.
And while Catrina waits in Cornwall, desperate to hear news of Richard, she must protect the secret they've been hiding, at any cost...
