'...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?

The Arranged Marriage (The Tudor's Series) by Dat_AthRojas
41 parts Complete Mature
***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.

🏵️Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were cousins.There is no actual historical record that they ever met or knew each other. In historical fiction all things are possible.We do not know the year of Catherine's birth,but estimating a year of circa 1522 which would make Catherine age 13 when I having going to serve Anne in 1535( incidentally the age is have believed have been when she was a fille d'honour to Duchess Margaret of Austria) and age 14 in that tumultuous year of 1536.All the ladies who served Anne in the Tower of London ,after her arrest.They are named except one .So I have Catherine Howard as the unamed lady who loyally served Anne at this time and this fictional historical story is told from Catherine Howard's point of view 🏵️
