The Governess and The King
Madeleine Butler was never meant to be an ordinary Tudor woman. Raised by enlightened parents who valued knowledge as highly as noble blood, Madeleine grows into one of the most brilliant women in England. Her remarkable intellect soon catches the attention of King Henry VIII, who entrusts her with the education and care of his children. Though she admires his vision for England, she cannot overlook the ruthless choices that have defined his reign, and she keeps the king at a careful distance. But in 1537, tragedy changes everything. United by devastating loss, Madeleine and Henry find comfort in one another when neither expected it. What begins as an unlikely friendship slowly blossoms into a love that defies court expectations, and soon the woman who once criticized England's most feared monarch becomes his queen. As Henry's final wife, Madeleine must navigate the dangerous world of Tudor politics, where ambitious nobles, jealous courtiers, and religious unrest threaten both her family and the future of the kingdom. Determined to give England the stability it desperately needs, she bears Henry six children-three daughters and, at last, the sons he has long desired-while also protecting the twins from her first marriage as they are drawn into the heart of the royal court. Yet producing heirs is only the beginning. In a kingdom where every smile conceals a scheme and every alliance can become a betrayal, Madeleine must use her wit, courage, and compassion to keep her family alive-and reshape the destiny of the Tudor dynasty forever.Complete

The Six
'Divorced, beheaded, died; divorced, beheaded, survived." In this way, the six wives of Henry VIII were remembered not for how they lived, but in the way they died. It is impossible to know exactly what they were thinking or had to go through, in having to marry this larger-than life King, so assured of his own rightness. It is impossible to know what their last thoughts were. But we can guess, and infer. Because these six women weren't simply paper-thin, flat cut-outs from hundreds of years ago; they were unique, and each had their own strength, and each had the fate to marry King Henry VIII, and dance around this large maypole. *Shorts on the six wives of Henry VIII; their lives, their deaths*Complete

The Arranged Marriage (The Tudor's Series)
***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.Complete

Her journey began long before her marriage and ascension to queen, and ended long after she was replaced by the infamous Anne Boleyn. Her story is often overshadowed and forgotten, but she may be one of the most remarkable women of her time. In the royal court, the walls have ears, and the loyalties of the servants and spies determines who really rules the kingdom. Watch through the eyes of one of Catherine's most trusted maidservants and whisperers, and observe the glamorous world of Catherine of Aragon and her downfall at the hands of lust and love. HISTORICAL DISCLAIMER-- This story is backed by history, though there are many characters of my own imagination. The four maidservants are characters that I created, however, places, events, and many other things are true. If you see an error, ask me about it and I will tell you if it was meant to be that way or not.Complete
