This novel was originally published in 1944 and republished several times. It was once banned for its sheer decadence. Young Amber falls in love with a man she can never have. She is left pregnant and abandoned in London. She is beautiful and witty and uses her feminine wiles to charm and sleep her way from farm girl to mistress of the king, gaining a fortune and titles all the way, all in the pursuit of Lord Bruce Carlton. The novel is often described as a timeless romance; however, this description is somewhat misleading. I would classify the relationship between Lord Carlton and Amber St. Clare as a seventeenth-century stalker novel.
