On the night of 4 April 1793, two lovers were preparing to compel a cleric to perform a secret ceremony. The wedding of the sixth son of King George III to the daughter of the Earl of Dunmore would not only be concealed – it would also be illegal. Lady Augusta Murray had known Prince Augustus Frederick for only three months but they had already fallen deeply in love and were desperate to be married. However, the Royal Marriages Act forbade such a union without the King's permission and going ahead with the ceremony would change Augusta's life forever. From a beautiful socialite she became a social pariah; her children were declared illegitimate and her family was scorned. In Forbidden Wife Julia Abel Smith uses material from the Royal Archives and the Dunmore family papers to create a dramatic biography set in the reigns of Kings George III and IV against the background of the American and French Revolutions.

1415: The jewel in the French crown, Katherine de Valois, is waiting under lock and key for King Henry V. While he's been slaughtering her kinsmen in Agincourt, Katherine has been praying for marriage to save her from her misery. But the brutal King is one of war. It is her crown he wants not her innocent love. For Katherine, a pawn in a ruthless political game, England is a lion's den of greed, avarice and mistrust. And when the magnificent King leaves her widowed at twenty–one she is a prize ripe for the taking. Her heart is on her sleeve, her young son the future monarch, and her hand in marriage worth a kingdom. This is a deadly game; one the Dowager Queen must learn fast. The players – Duke of Gloucester, Edmund Beaufort and Owen Tudor – are circling. Who will have her? Who will stop her? Who will ruin her?

In August 2004 a lonely married man with four children made an anonymous post to an on-line forum that he was gay. A month later he came out to his wife. Unflinchingly honest, Lester writes his memoirs of the following 22 months. He knew that by simply removing the barriers that had kept him closeted for over 30 years he would most likely destroy his marriage and alienate his children as he navigated the risks associated with a typical 'gay adolescence'. Lester describes in detail how he relied solely upon his core values and used boundaries instead of barriers to define his new life. In the end, it would appear that nothing had changed. He was still married, still had a tightly knit family, and was still gay. But nothing was the same. His relationship with his wife is so vastly improved that he no longer considers it the same marriage, his relationship with his children has been redefined, and the allure of gay sexual activity has abated and been replaced by healthy friendships with several men, both gay and straight. He no longer has Forbidden Friends.
