Countess Jacqueline

Description

In 1416, Jacqueline inherits the countship of Holland at the age of sixteen and is determined to reign on her own. She disregards her assembly’s demand to choose a husband, then leads her army to victory in their first defensive battle. In response, Duke Philip sends his good friend to Den Haag to thwart Jacqueline’s efforts.

Lord Renard Borselen resents being used as a pawn yet agrees to meet with the Dutch assembly. When he sees Jacqueline, he recalls the day they first met years ago and a spark of excitement catches him, the first since that day. He openly shifts his stance and now there is hell to pay for them both.

As Jacqueline continues her great struggle to retain her title and fight for the freedom of her people, she is torn between her country and her love for Renard. Will Duke Philip ever let her have both?
