Infamous
by Virginia Henley

With her marvelous prose and period detail, New York Times bestselling author Virginia Henley brings England's High Middle Ages to glorious life in a tale of a woman like no other...

Striking silver-gilt hair and pale green eyes give Marjory de Warenne the looks of an angel. The better to hide her willful spirit. In spite of every warning, the headstrong lady-in-waiting has given her heart to the notorious Guy de Beauchamp, the Earl of Warwick, a man feared on the battlefield—and in matters of seduction...

But Jory's guardians choose a more suitable husband for her, letting Jory believe that Guy has betrayed her. Yet, even as England's bravest men ride off to put down the Welsh rebellion, Jory's thoughts are with the one gallant knight she can never forget—and the passion that will one day be rekindled amidst the march of history...



Virginia Henley's Bio

I write lush and lusty historical romances in both hardcover and paperback. My authentic medievals, set in England, Ireland and Scotland have received critical acclaim and garnered many awards.

My great passion is HISTORY...however, I am a historical ROMANCE author, and that means the romance has to play a greater role than the history. Because my books contain so much heavy, authentic history, they have to have an extremely sensual romance to offset and balance the story. I take a solid chunk of meticulously researched history and blend it with a hot, erotic love story, or sometimes I even use two couples. My heroes are dark, dominant and dangerous, and my heroines are always a match for them!

My readers have come to expect a certain level of lust when they buy a Virginia Henley, and I never want to disappoint my readers! When I weave a tapestry of history combined with hot sensuality, it's like magic; it's a one-two punch that satisfies the reader, and satisfying my readers is my number one goal.
