A 2019 Watty Winner. For fans of Allison Pataki and Philippa Gregory, THE NYMPH OF VERSAILLES is based on the true story of Madame Montespan's rise and fall at the court of King Louis XIV. Being the Sun King's mistress is a coveted position in a court full of greedy courtiers vying for power and Athénaïs de Montespan won't let anything stand in the way of her stealing the king's heart-not even poison. When the king's interest in his mistress Louise begins to wane, Montespan sees the position as a possible escape from her husband's mounting debts and loveless marriage. Her strained friendship with Louise doesn't stop her from charming the king. However keeping his heart is tricky in a court full of plotting beauties eager to have him for themselves, especially with her jealous husband bent on ending her seduction. Then her children's governess becomes an unexpected rival for the king's heart and the only woman who can contend with Montespan. With the court swirling with rumors of poison, Montespan finds herself caught in the web of accusations. Her position with the king begins to crumble as she fights to hold on to the life she's built. Without the king's love, she fears she will lose everything as she falls from grace.

Life for Callie had never been an easy one but it was something she had gotten used to. For this emotionally lonely girl, it entailed balancing school with work, taking care of her mentally ill dad and dealing with a pointless high school drama that she had been webbed in. But when her dad got arrested for something he didn't do, Callie took it upon herself to appeal to the person who put him there. What she didn't expect was to get tangled up with the quiet, emerald-eyed Larkin Hammell and opening up her fragile heart to a boy with more baggage than she ever had. Larkin Hammell had enough scars on his face and his heart, likewise, to last a lifetime. He had become a shadow of his former self and all he wanted was to be left alone to wallow in his pain and grief. Hiding away from the world and wearing the guilt of his past on his sleeves were all part of Larkin's plans. Then everything changed when fate swept her into his life unexpectedly. Is love ever enough to fix the fragments of a broken heart or is it all you need to pick up the remaining pieces before it gets completely shattered? *** 👑1st place - Monarchy Awards (Teen Fiction Category) 👑1st place - The Innovation Awards (Romance Category) 👑1st place - The Ulven Awards (Romance Category) 👑 Winner of "Best Fantasy" Category - Nigerian Readers Choice Awards 👑3rd place - The Noble Awards (Teen Fiction Category) Readers' Reviews - "Is this really chapter 1?
