The Betrayal by Mary Hooper (author)

As Lucy continues her work on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I, her romance with Tomas, the queen’s fool, seems to be flourishing. At least until the arrival of Mistress Juliette, the new lady-in-waiting – to whom Tomas is paying far too much attention for Lucy’s liking. But then Lucy realises that Juliette is telling lies and is not what she appears to be. Lucy can’t help fearing for the safety of the queen; there are always supporters of Mary, Queen of Scots, who are willing to risk all to overthrow Elizabeth. But how can Lucy convince Tomas of her fears when he just teases her and tells her that she’s jealous? Desperate times call for desperate measures…
