Soon, her quick sense of humor and natural charm get her noticed by those who have the means to make her life easier. But the street-smart Nell knows a woman doesn't get ahead by selling her body. Through talent, charm, intelligence, and sheer determination--as well as a keen understanding of how the world operates--Nell works her way out of the pit and onto the stage to become the leading comedic actress of the day. Her skills and beauty quickly win the attention of all of London--eventually even catching the eye of King Charles II. Their attraction is as real as it is unlikely, and the scrappy orange girl with the pretty face and the quick wit soon finds herself plunged into the confusing and dangerous world of the court, where she learns there are few she can trust--and many whom she cannot turn her back on. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the gritty streets of seventeenth-century London, to the backstage glamour of its theaters, to the glittering court of Charles II, \u003cb\u003eThe Perfect Royal Mistress\u003c\/b\u003e is a love story for the ages, the rags-to-riches tale of a truly remarkable heroine.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDIANE HAEGER is also the author of The Ruby Ring, Courtesan, and \u003cbr\u003eThe Secret Wife of George IV.
