The Countess and the King by Susan Holloway Scott

Katherine Sedley lived by her own rules and loved who she pleased- until she became the infamous mistress of King James I.

London, 1675: Born to wealth and privilege, Katherine is introduced to the decadent court of King Charles I, and quickly becomes a favorite from the palace to the bawdy playhouses. She gleefully snubs respectable marriage to become the Duke of York's mistress.

But Katherine's life of carefree pleasure ends when Charles I dies, and her lover becomes King James I. Suddenly she is cast into a tangle of political intrigue, religious dissent, and ever-shifting alliances, where a wrong step can mean treason, exile, or death at the executioner's block. As the risks rise, Katherine is forced to make the most perilous of choices: to remain loyal to the king, or to England.
