"Before the Bridgertons came the love story that changed the ton..."--Cover; "First published in the US in 2023 by Avon Books"--Title page verso N2 - In 1761 a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent-- not the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she needed, because George had secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy. Thrust into her new role as a royal, Charlotte must learn to navigate the intricate politics of the court. But she must guard her heart, because she is falling in love with the King, even as he pushes her away. She must fight for herself, for her husband, and for all her new subjects who look to her for guidance and grace. For she will never be just Charlotte again. She must instead fulfill her destiny-- as Queen. -- adapted from back cover and Goodreads ER -
