Anthony, Earl of Crofton

A tale set in Stuart England, where the king's life depends on his most loyal of subjects. Anthony Redbourn, Earl of Crofton, delights in his reputation as a charming rogue. Life is never quiet at the court of King James I, especially with his good friend and secret lover, Sebastian Hewel, by his side. As an actor with the celebrated King's Men, Sebastian has his own admirers, but neither man has eyes for anyone else. When a plot against His Majesty is uncovered, Anthony and Sebastian are dragged into the world of political intrigue and the race to save the king from danger. It is a dangerous game they are playing to expose the plotters and still keep their secrets, but Anthony is adamant that they will not sacrifice the love they have fought so hard to win. They will do whatever it takes to protect the king's life, and their commitment to each other. Anthony Redbourn and Sebastian Hewel are the main characters from my historical series The Crofton Chronicles.
