By Any Other Name

New York playwright Melina Green has never seen her work on stage. In a man’s world, only through a lie can she get the recognition she yearns for.

But Melina is not the first woman in her family to discover this.

Her ancestor Emilia Bassano, mistress to one of Elizabeth I’s most valued noblemen, was no stranger to being silenced.

Yet to change a world can mean terrible sacrifices – your name, your family’s future, and your legacy.

These two women will never meet. But together can they rewrite history?
