If it's the same author (romance) she appears to have several pseudonyms -
Jane De Vere, Julia Fitzgerald, Julia Hamilton, Jo Ann Vest, Joanna Wayne - not that that's much help! As Joanna Wayne (assumimg it's the right one, she seems to have moved on to modern romances), she does have a website, so if you're desperate you could try contacting her.

Ariadne has a vast collection of royalty-related fiction - she might know.

Thanks, Annis and Ariadne! I found out inadvertently last night that she was Julia Hamilton, but I didn't realize she had so many other pseudonyms!

[quote=""Ariadne""]Just popped in here and saw your query, BB. It's about a fictional mistress of one of the Valois kings of France, 2nd in a trilogy. The author, real name Julia Hamilton, died in the early '90s. I can't find my copy (it's probably buried) but this is what one of my reference books has.[/quote]
Is this the same trilogy that includes Watson's Mistress to the Valois and The Wolf and the Unicorn or is it another one entirely? I've read the first one - it wasn't quite what I was expecting it to be about but it was OK.

Yup, that's the one. The heroine is named Gentian. I was able to find my copy of book 1.
