[COMPLETE] Seeking inspiration for her next historical romance novel, Tilly Fletcher visits a mysterious 19th century Tasmanian cottage, abandoned suddenly over a century ago by a sad and lonely recluse. As Tilly steps through the still and silent house, untouched and fully furnished after all these years, the impossible happens to her. Dazed and confused, she struggles to comprehend that she is no longer in 2019, but suddenly standing inside the cottage in 1869 - and is caught by the aforementioned recluse, Nicholas Clay. While Tilly faces the obstacles preventing her from going back home, she also has to adjust to the sudden change of living in the 19th century. But it's not long before Tilly starts to enjoy the new life she's started for herself, and has doubts about returning to the life she's known for twenty-eight years - especially if it means leaving behind the man she is unexpectedly falling for.

In the mid-18th century, one of the most famous Queens in European history was born: Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna of Austria, better known as Marie Antoinette, Dauphine and later Queen of France. This story tells her tale through the eyes of Francis Bonnefoy, the human incarnation of France, and the tragedies that eventually led to that fateful day at the gilloutine in 1792. From beginnings as the Archduchess of Austria, then as she becomes the Dauphine of France and learns the ways of the immoral, vile 'dog-eat-dog' world of Versailles, the Queen, a mother, the well-hated vixen of the 'evil' monarchy, the evolution of Marie Antoinette is an interesting one, and historically a necessary one. Marie Antoinette's life was filled with many a sorrow and many a triumph, but no matter who history paints the fallen Queen to be, Francis will alway hold his petit princesse dear to his heart.

From the minute she is sent to Hatfield, Mary Tudors' life, would never be the same again. When Mary Tudor receives the letter she has been dreading for years, it changes her world more than she ever could have imagined. The once indulged and sheltered heir to the throne of England, Mary is cast into the brutal and harsh reality that is her fathers' realm. Living as a prisoner, and forced to serve as a maid to her usurping half-sister, the daughter of Marys' deadly enemy, her ill-treatment will ultimately shape her life as a pious, and determinedly stubborn woman. Through four more of her fathers' marriages, a battle of religious liberty with her once adoring brother and her increasingly strained relationship with her sister, Mary must draw on her remarkable bravery and determination, to not only overcome the prejudices of her gender, but to also guide her to the most powerful, and dangerous role of all: the throne of England.
