The Duchess Of Longueville

Marie De Guise is the eldest of twelve siblings, and the responsibility of furthering her family legacy sits squarely on her shoulders. With her debut rapidly approaching, she must navigate the treacherous waters of life at French Court without endangering her family's reputation. At first the task doesn't seem so daunting, and she even finds herself the object of affection to the handsome Duke Louis.

Things get messy, however, when her best friend Madeleine, princess of France is betrothed to the king of Scotland. James is tall, young, and ruggedly handsome, and somehow always ends up putting Marie in the most vicarious of predicaments. But to act on her infatuation could cost her family, her friendship, her relationship and possibly her life.
