Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

“Before Henriette had sex with the King, she demanded the outrageous sum of one hundred thousand crowns, to which the love starved Monarch readily assented. His minister the Duc de Sully, who called Henriette the “malignat wasp” was obliged to pay her from the treasury.” ~ PG.74 Sex with Kings by Eleanor Herman
