Diane de Poitiers could have-and should have-been Queen of France. King Henri II was devoted to her throughout his life. His childhood attachment turned into an adolescent attraction, and eventually into a passionate and consuming love. His greatest wish was to make her his wife and to have her rule France at his side.

About the Author
Shari Beck is the 12th-great-grandaughter of Diane de Poitiers and Louis de Brézé. Genealogy is one of her favorite pastimes, so it was only natural that she would combine that with her love of writing and history to tell the story of one of her ancestors. Shari is the mother of a grown daughter, Laura, and the grandmother of Claire! She lives just east of Toronto, Canada.
