⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Maggie Darby has been named as the Queen's sacrificial lamb because of her duty to test for poison in gifts sent for the Queen.
There are a lot of surprises in this historical romance. Political intrigue is the norm, and danger is around every corner. Our characters have life changing decisions to make from the moment they meet.
This is the first book in a new series that I will definitely be reading more of.
I loved it.
