What if Henry VIII had married differently? What if his choice of wives changed his reign and the whole of England's history forever? A young man sits on the throne of England with a face and charm that draws woman from all corners of the kingdom. There are those with years of training and tutoring in their heads: there are those with no plan but themselves; there are those who only see the empty throne and themselves to fill it. Henry VIII needs a Queen. He needs a son. He's the King of England. He always gets exactly what he wants. This time, he wants the woman of his dreams. Well, maybe two or three. *Started 28th August 2016* *Completed 16th February 2022* #39 in Historical Fiction 22/07/18 #29 in Fiction 17/08/20 >> Cover designed by the great @WorksbyAmeliss <<

'...The first thing I notice about him is his weight. The rumours are true: he is spoilt and fat, so different from the young Renaissance prince I have heard he once was. His padded garments only make him look swollen and stout, not stronger. His red hair is thinning and tinged grey, along with his beard... This is the man I must seduce.' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Winter 1539. The young, beautiful Catherine Howard leaves her residence to go and serve the future Queen of England, Anne of Cleves, a German Protestant. But beneath this seemingly simple task, a deeper and much more complex plot is at hand. Charged with the same task as her infamous cousin Anne Boleyn, Catherine must use all of her charm and wit to seduce King Henry VIII and save the Howards from permanent destruction. In this tale of intrigue, deception and injustice, the true story of Catherine Howard's rise and fall from power is told based on real historical events and people. Can Catherine betray a Queen and friend that she has grown fond of? Can she ever escape the curse of her family name and history? Can she catch the King before it is too late?

From the author of your favorites like "Favor with the King" and "DUSA," comes the heart pounding, page turning story of Robin Hood (with a twist) Life used to be wonderful in the prosperous kingdom of Enchancia. It was only until a new ruler, King Richard, was brought to the throne that made the kingdom fail. Meet Robyn; a 19 year old free spirit whose life is filled with looting and debauchery: she was raised to rob all her life and has sworn off all royals as evil; what happens when she steals something most valuable from the king? Will a deal with a devil be her only chance to freedom? ____ "You really don't like to share?" I chided. "I am a prince so I always get what I want" he bragged. Once we entered his room he closed the door and turned to inspect my figure. He undressed me with his eyes and walked over to peel the thin red tulle covering my face. I breath nervously as we stand just a breaths apart, our lips barely touching at the surface. "Tell me to kiss you" he whispers desperately, pulling my body into his toned form; his warm hand trails across my exposed back. No words were exchanged as we stood observing each other, as if it was the first time we had met. "And why would I tell you to do a thing like that?" I tease him, impatiently waiting for the chance to tattoo the taste of his lips onto mine. "The eyes are the window to one's soul and yours are screaming for my touch" he murmurs as he grabs my chin, forcing me to stare into his blue eyes. I bit my lip innocently, making sure to tease him again. "Tell me" he growls once more into my neck, as his wet tongue begins to glide down its surface. _____ There will be a love triangle INVOLVED!

***MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY*** Following the divorce of his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII of England continues on his search for a new Queen. Enduring the hatred of his people that once screamed his name out of love and the orders from his Privy Council, Henry's freedom to choose his future Queen is jeopardized when his Chief Minister, Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex, introduces the famous, Lady Anne Boleyn. Desperate for another heir, Henry is clearly blinded by love at the sight of Lady Boleyn. But will Henry's wish for a male heir be granted or will something else catch the King's eye? Read along as you watch the fate of Henry VIII's legacy change forever. Based on the Showtime Series 'The Tudors'. This book will take a slight curvature involving the original series, since my other book 'Long May She Reign' and the rest of the following, tie into the Tudor family. There will be an overlap in a few of the chapters but will mainly focus on the Tudors. Keep in mind this is a FANFIC, this story won't follow Henry's life every step of the way. His last wife won't be mentioned, and the 4th and 5th will be written around the new characters.

The rain pounds the filthy cobbled road, washing away all signs of the crime. The clouds above are as grey as a smoker's breath and just as foul. The girl swings from her rope, her auburn hair darkened by weeks behind bars and washed clean by the deluge.
