She was taught to obey. Now she has learned to rebel. When Princess Isabella is offered as bride to King Edward of England, for her it's love at first sight. But her dashing husband has a secret, one that threatens to tear their marriage--and England--apart. As Isabella navigates the deadly maelstrom of Edward's court, her cleverness and grace allow her to subvert Edward's ill-advised plans and gain influence. But soon the young queen is faced with an impossible choice, taking a breathtaking gamble that will forever change the course of history. In the tradition of Philippa Gregory and Elizabeth Chadwick, Isabella is the story of a queen who took control of her destiny--and the throne.

"This is a very adult oriented book. It throws the reader into a sexually charged English court, unfortunately with the arrival of a young and inexperienced queen, into a court with a much older English King, who only wants Isabella for an heir. She has to learn quickly what it means to rule a nation, and somehow keep her emotions and life separate from an increasingly isolated Edward, and a court who wishes her to fail. The story is heartbreaking at times, and an emotional rollercoaster of growing pains, suspense, political intrigue, and a final reckoning. It definitely has what I have seen some people call "spice."
