The Most Dangerous Enemy (The Elizabeth of England Chronicles #3)

The witty, wily princess, Elizabeth Tudor has survived the turmoil of her formative years, and finally, is now Queen of England. Rising to the throne on a wave of popularity, Elizabeth is keen to avoid the mistakes of her siblings, and bring England to a new sense of unity and hope.
But in the first two years of her reign, Elizabeth will be tested as in no other. She is seen as scandalous for her faith and sex in the courts of Europe. Untested in power and authority, Elizabeth must use all the weapons at her disposal to survive as a Protestant Queen amongst a sea of Catholic Kings.
Everyone believes that Elizabeth should marry, and marry soon; to secure an heir for the throne, and to complete her as a woman. But Elizabeth has other ideas... and in the first years of her reign, there is only one man who reaches her heart... Robin Dudley. As her love for her Master of Horse grows, Elizabeth is tested; should she abandon her long-held principals and desire never to marry... or risk all that she holds dear, for love?
In the shadowy game of power at the Tudor Court, Elizabeth will come to know herself better than she ever has done, to be tested in more ways than she thought possible, and to face the most dangerous enemy of all... her own heart.

The Most Dangerous Enemy is book three of The Elizabeth of England Chronicles, by G. Lawrence.
