"The Secret Wife of King George IV" by Diane Haeger

"The Secret Wife of King George IV", by Diane Haeger, is a fascinating historical novel about the romance between Maria Fitzherbert and George IV (he begins the book as Prince of Wales and later becomes King).  The novel is based on the historical facts of their relationship, and shows some interesting royal history that is not generally known.  Yet rather than reading like a history text book, the book focuses on their personalities and relationship throughout their troubled love affair (including their secret marriage).
