The Queen’s Lady: The Lacey Chronicles Book 2 picks up where The Other Countess left off. After breaking off her engagement to William Lacey, the Earl of Dorset, Lady Jane finds herself in disgrace with her father. Her status is only partially restored after her marriage to a kind and doting Jonah, and when he dies, Jane’s trouble just continues. Jonah’s sons bully and harass their seventeen-year-old stepmother for all of her worldly possessions, which they believe are part of their inheritance. Although Jane retreats to the Queen’s court as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth, she is not safe. As Jane makes her mark in the Queen’s court, her attention is distracted by the dashing James Lacey, the Earl’s younger brother. Will Jane be able to ignite the flame that once existed between them, or will James’ moody temperament drive a wedge further between them?
