Desirable. Forbidden. Brought to court with other eligible young noblewomen by the decree of King Henry VIII, lovely Elizabeth \"Bess\" Brooke realizes for the first time that beauty can be hazardous. Although Bess has no desire to wed the aging king, she and her family would have little choice if Henry's eye were to fall on her. And other dangers exist as well, for Bess has caught the interest of dashing courtier Will Parr. Bess finds Will's kisses as sweet as honey, but marriage between them may be impossible. Will is a divorced man, and remarriage is still prohibited. Bess and Will must hope that the king can be persuaded to issue a royal decree allowing Will to marry again . . . but to achieve their goal, the lovers will need royal favor. Amid the swirling alliances of royalty and nobles, Bess and Will perform a dangerous dance of palace intrigue and pulse-pounding passions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrought to glowing life by the talented Kate Emerson, and seen through the eyes of a beautiful young noblewoman, \u003ci\u003eBy Royal Decree \u003c\/i\u003eilluminates the lives of beautiful young courtiers in and out of the rich and compelling drama of the Tudor court.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Emerson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.35w x 0.99d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439177815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/25\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2010 pg. 42 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2010 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEmerson, Kate:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Kate Emerson\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ewas born in Liberty, New York, and attended Bates College and Old Dominion University.
