Woman fight. Royal, woman fight. For many reasons we all clash heads and pens and ribbons for the love and affection of the oh so beloved King. Henry is not a prize worth fighting for, but I shall fight. Not for myself but strictly out of spite of Anne Boleyn's cocky behavior and Catherine's naivety and refusal.
Out of spite of Jane Seymour's petty words and spread legs.
I aim to be Queen, with many sons, not for happiness or love. But to prove how cunning and manipulative Queens can be.
This is our war that we fight silently and elegantly. Resembling swans and a beautiful yet powerful dance. We fall and we rise as quickly as the tide changes favor. Some swim while others...... well, you get the memo.

The Pearl Of Great Price
Fortune favors the brave or incredibly reckless. Charles Brandon, the Duke of Suffolk, a man of impulsive nature takes a risk on a woman of cautious prudence. Tasked to marry the King's daughter, through trials and tragedies he learns to triumph with the pearl of great price by his side. And hopefully a new dynasty can begin. All hail House Brandon. May you rise and never fall. My spin on Showtime's The Tudors because Mary deserves more and so does Charles. Yes I know history, but this is fanfiction. All gloves are off where that is concerned. Events will try to stay closely aligned but some things must change.Complet
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.Complet
A Striking Blow | Anthony Bridgerton
"...He resisted the urge to laugh bitterly. As if there was anything left to fix. The damage was done. His name had been dragged through society's cruel, whispering halls, and Elizabeth Kensington had delivered the final blow with a smile on her lips. He hated her..." "...And the worst part? He knew-knew-that the next time he saw her, she'd be smirking, triumphant, utterly insufferable. And he would hate her all over again." ~*~*~* In the dazzling world of modern aristocracy, where wealth and legacy reign supreme, Elizabeth Kensington and Anthony Bridgerton have nothing in common-except for the ironclad contract binding them in marriage. A decision made long ago by Anthony's late father now forces them into a union neither of them wants. But this isn't just an inconvenient arrangement-it's a war. Once childhood acquaintances turned bitter rivals, Anthony and Elizabeth have spent years avoiding each other, their animosity fueled by a long-standing misunderstanding neither dares to confront. But with their families watching and high society waiting for a scandal, they must play their parts to perfection-even as their shared resentment ignites into something far more dangerous. As passion and power collide, Anthony and Elizabeth will be forced to choose-fight against each other or stand together before the truth destroys them both. Enemies by circumstance. Lovers by fate. Bound by a past neither of them understands. Will they survive the fire, or will their love be A Striking Blow?Complet

Across the sea, in England, the Wars of the Roses rages, a bloody battle for the throne between the royal Houses of York and Lancaster where a word weighs as much as the swing of a sword.

With his Neville cousins (one being the infamous Earl of Warwick) Edward sails to France where Warwick begins his plots to regain the House of York power. It is as a result of these plots, Edward and Constance are destined to meet. Worlds apart, they will be matched for the benefit of others but when tragedy strikes at the very heart of the House of York, forcing Edward closer to the throne than ever, they find they are, perhaps, what each other needs. Amongst the tangled nest of vipers, surrounded by bloodied thorns, will they keep the crowns destiny calls for them to claim?Complet
