***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.

1523. King Henry VIII is in desperate need of a male heir. Mistress Katherine Champernowne, a young maiden of noble blood, has been sent from France to the English court. Her mother believes she can produce a male heir for the English King. New to English politics, Katherine finds herself entangled in a war for the King's affections. She is playing a dangerous game of courtly love, while all the time trying to hide her un-catholic background. Her task in place, she becomes friends with the competition, enemies with her family and in love with someone other than the King. When things get too heated, will she be able to survive a court where everyone is out to make a profit, no matter the cost? A Twist. Although I use a lot of Tudor truths and background work, I also use false characters, intertwined with real people. *************** A massive thank you to @Pasionforbooks who is currently editing this story! She has managed to make everything so much smoother and run so much more perfected while keeping my own voice! Highly recommend can't wait to see the rest! xx

Working for Francesco Pazzi was the last place she expected to find herself. She expected even less to grow to like the job. Falling for him was the biggest surprise of all.

What if the war of the roses ended differently? What if Elizabeth of York never married Henry vii? What if York won and Elizabeth and her siblings were returned to the throne? What if she married someone else? *loosely based off of the white queen and the white princess however the story will be different. The only character I own(all the people in the book were actual people) is Lord Charles smith, a feared warrior knight.
