"In the shadow of kings, a woman must either bend or break. I chose neither- I chose to vanish, to reclaim what was never theirs to take."

- Charlotte Wright, The King's Shadow

In the glittering yet treacherous court of King Henry VIII, Charlotte Wright's life is forever changed when she catches the king's eye. Mixed-race, beautiful, and intelligent, Charlotte serves as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Anne Boleyn, hoping for a quiet life and dreaming of a future with her childhood love, William. But Henry's infatuation turns her world upside down, tearing away her freedom, her innocence, and the man she loves. Forced into an unwanted relationship with the king, Charlotte finds herself entangled in the brutal politics of power, while haunted by the memory of a life she once cherished.

When Charlotte becomes pregnant, Henry's hopes for a male heir ignite a plan to make her his queen at any cost, even as Queen Anne desperately tries to hold onto her crown. But Charlotte, hardened by her loss and Henry's relentless cruelty, makes a daring escape to protect her child, knowing it may cost her life.

As Henry's rage grows, he becomes obsessed with hunting down the woman who defied him. Yet Charlotte's strength and sacrifice leave a lasting mark-a legacy of courage and defiance that endures long after the king's shadow fades.

The King's Shadow is a powerful reimagining of Tudor history, exploring themes of resilience, love, and the cost of survival under the rule of a tyrant.

Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong? *** It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed. Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
