Forever Amber

644, and Amber St Clair's birth leads to her noble-born mother's death. Raised in ignorance of her true origins, Amber is sixteen when she learns the power of her voluptuous beauty.

Attracting the eye of soldier Lord Bruce Carlton, Amber is whisked away to London. In a city of highwaymen and whores, courtiers and conmen, she finds danger. For nearly all see Amber as a girl to discard.

But Amber - abandoned, pregnant and penniless - knows her beauty is a blessing. As plague and fire abound, she uses her charms to licentiously rise to the bed of the King of England.

Yet always, Amber pines for the man who stole her heart . . .
