The Queen's Exiles
by Barbara Kyle
1572. Europe is in turmoil. A vengeful faction of exiled English
Catholics is scattered about the continent, plotting to overthrow Queen
Elizabeth and install her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots on the throne. And
in the Netherlands, the streets are red with the blood of those who
dare to oppose the brutal Spanish occupation. But amid the unrest, one
resourceful young woman has made a lucrative enterprise. . .Scottish-born
Fenella Doorn salvages crippled vessels. It is on one of these ships
that she meets wealthy Baron Adam Thornleigh. Secretly drawn to him,
Fenella can't refuse when Adam enlists her to join him in war-torn
Brussels to help find his traitorous wife, Frances--and the children
she's taken from him. But Adam and Fenella will put their lives in peril
as they attempt to rescue his young ones, defend the crown, and restore
the peace that few can remember.
