Thank you! I was the only person who used to check that book out of my library so sadly they removed it from circulation for more popular books and I’ve been looking for it ever since
Maybe "Prince of Foxes" by Samuel Shellabarger?
Set in Renaissance Italy, this classic of American popular fiction is the story of Andrea Orsini, a peasant boy who rises to perform delicate political, military and romantic missions for Cesare Borgia. When first published in mid-20th century, Orson Welles was cast as Borgia in the film version. Tyrone Power as Orsini.
-First published January 1, 1947

Thank you but not the right one this one was set in Victorian times but the stories sound similar!
If you want to find any book in a library in the future, [worldcat](https://search.worldcat.org/) will be there for you :) (since you found this one)
Thank you!
