Royal Mistress — Patricia Campbell Horton

When King Charles met the auburn enchantress whom all London whispered about, he was transfixed by violet eyes that promised an unashamed sensuality.

And when he beckoned her to his side as adored Queen of Pleasure over all the pomp and power of his lusty reign, Barbara Villiers reaped rich rewards - and danger such as she had never known, from the horrors of the plague and the Great Fire of London to the flaming wrath of court wenches and scoundrels, ladies and lords.

Yet she would endure it all, and more, to become the Queen of England - sovereign consort to an ardent, rakehell king!
