'I dreamt about her again tonight. The woman whose name I don't know and whose face remains ever obscured...I don't know who this woman is, but I have a dreadful and inexplicable feeling that, one day, I will...'
Many of us have heard of the story of Henry VIII and his six wives, but so often we take this story without hearing their points of view. As the second instalment in my Tudor wives series, To Keep a King explores the harrowing and courageous journey of Katherine of Aragon, the first wife.
Can Katherine survive the political games and the difficulties of being queen in a new country, all whilst battling her complicated past?

LITTLE VIENNA
Vienna could feel the King's eyes on her now, and she wanted to scream in excitement and panic. She wondered why he was staring at her, but she quickly figured it was probably for the same reason she had been staring at him. She swallowed to calm down her nerves and confidently looked at him, immediately catching his eyes, and she didn't look away this time. Christopher was a bit surprised by her action as she matched his stare. It seemed like she was challenging him to look away first. His lips curled up in a smirk, and she smiled at him, but neither of them looked away from each other. Christopher was impressed by her boldness, and Vienna was simply mesmerised by him. * * * * In the midst of preparations for his royal wedding, King Christopher's life is turned upside down by the unexpected arrival of Vienna, the youngest daughter of his father's dear friend. Once a mere child, Vienna has blossomed into a stunning beauty, capturing the king's attention and igniting a passion he cannot deny. Desperate for a male heir, Christopher is bound by duty to marry the princess chosen for him. But as he finds himself drawn to Vienna's intelligence, wit, and charm, he begins to question his obligations. Torn between loyalty and desire, Christopher must choose between his royal duty and the love that threatens to destroy his carefully laid plans. For Vienna, the king's sudden interest is both thrilling and terrifying. Aware of the scandal that could ruin her reputation, she struggles to conceal her feelings, even as she is inexorably drawn to Christopher's magnetic presence. As the wedding day approaches, Christopher and Vienna must navigate the treacherous landscape of court politics, family expectations, and their own forbidden attraction. Will they risk everything for love, or will duty and obligation prevail? AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON AMAZON KINDLE. LINK IS ON MY BIOConcluida
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.Concluida
