The Flawed Mistress (Holy Poison)

By Margaret Brazear

Lady Rachel Stewart is a stunningly beautiful woman, but that beauty has always been a burden to her and because of a horrific childhood experience, she resents any attention from any man. Forced to marry in order to survive, her beauty and poverty make her a target for exploitation until she meets Lord Richard Summerville, and cannot believe that here is a man who wants nothing from her, whose only wish is to befriend and protect her. In order to keep her safe, he lets it be known that she is his mistress and under his protection. When he marries, he insists that he maintains his relationship with Rachel, to which his new bride agrees, until she falls in love with him and starts to resent this beautiful woman who will eventually take her place at her husband's side at the court of Queen Mary I, whose persecution of protestants has given her the nickname of Bloody Mary. Rachel is prepared to face a possible charge of treason in order to repay Lord Summerville for his friendship, while his wife, Bethany, is allowed to believe that he risks the same for love of another woman. This is the real story of Rachel, who appears as the other woman in the First Book of the Summerville Journals, the Judas Pledge
