title: Rogue's Princess,The
author:  Eve Edwards 
description: 1586 - London, England. Sixteen-year-old Mercy Hart is the daughter of one of London's richest - and strictest - cloth merchants. Kit Turner is an actor and the illegitimate son of the late Earl of Dorset. A chance encounter finds Kit falling for the beautiful Mercy's charms, but their love is forbidden. A merchant's daughter and a vagabond - it simply cannot be. If Mercy chooses Kit she must renounce her family name and leave her home. Will she favour duty over true love, or will she give Kit his heart's desire?

  EVE EDWARDS has a doctorate from Oxford University and thinks researching is a
  large part of the fun in writing historical fiction. She has visited Tudor
  houses, attended jousts and eaten Elizabethan banquets to get the sights,
  sounds and tastes right for this book. And, yes, she can testify that it is
  possible to eat neatly Tudor-style without a fork. She lives in Oxford and is
  married with three children.
