A Drop of Frankincense
An Elizabethan romance of peril, passion—and perfume.
To shield the young, innocent Lady Margaret from court schemers who would steal her inheritance, dashing sea captain Christopher ‘Kit’ Walsh weds her, then sails off with Sir Francis Drake. He leaves her with the protection of his name and family—and a treasured Christmas gift: a vial of perfume compounded of sandalwood, jasmine, and rare, costly frankincense.
Six years later, Meg is no longer the child bride he left behind. She's a spirited woman with one goal: to claim the husband who’s all but forgotten her. But her bold attempt to consummate their marriage sets off a storm at Queen Elizabeth’s glittering—and treacherous—court. For the Virgin Queen harbors a not-so-virginal fondness for her handsome Kit, and her wrath is as legendary as her power.
Now, Meg must navigate the deadly waters of royal jealousy and court intrigue to win not only Kit’s heart—but to keep her own head.
