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.

A shy child, she prefers her prayers and pearls to the hefty politics her Father and brothers have no choice but to partake in but war will reach into her life quicker than she could ever know.... 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.

It is as a result of these plots, Edward and Constance are destined to meet.

Unlike Celeste, she happily dreams of the day she will meet her future husband in New France.

"Damn! I love it when you're angry, it's really sexy. Trust me sweetheart, you're more beautiful when you're angry" "Go to hell" I muttered as I started to rise from the bed but wayne immediately grabs my left arm and draws me back beside him. Before I can do anything, he places his lips on top of mine ~♦||•♦•||♦~ Kate, a witty and strong headed woman was always used to getting her way because everyone feared her and didn't want to get on her bad side. heck! even her father was scared of her and always gave her everything she wanted. she was drop dead gorgeous and could be described as one the most beautiful women in her country but guys were too scared of her to even ask her out. she literally made guys pee on their pants and was never afraid or intimidated by anyone. it also didn't help that her father was one of the wealthiest men in New York so she was more like an untouchable beauty. her father, scared that his daughter might never get married because men were too scared to even ask her out, signs a marriage contract for her without her knowledge getting her married to Wayne. Wayne, the future king of England, unlike other men, was merely intrigued by this rare beauty with a spitfire mouth and decides to tame her into the most obedient wife ever...and maybe get passionate with her..... P. S: I wrote this book when I was 13 years old. So this book in no way falls up to my writing standard of right now. If you're a former reader of mine, and you're expecting the same quality in this book, like my other books, your expectations might not be met because this was the first novel I ever wrote, at 13. Bear that in mind Pls. A novel of a 13yr old girl. But interesting all the same...

Eliza Price, daughter of the Duke of Hertfordshire, finds herself entangled in a web of suitors, rejecting one potential partner after another. A marriage with the esteemed Duke of Kent appears to be her path forward, until an enigmatic figure, Mr. Magician, captivates her heart. Not only does he possess an irresistible charm, but he stands as the sole gentleman in all of London who dares to resist her allure. Meanwhile, the Marquess St. Arcey, perceiving Eliza as the embodiment of a femme fatale, cannot bear the thought of her belonging to another. His ardent pursuit of her heart and hand further complicates matters. To exacerbate the predicament, the fate of Eliza's family fortune hangs precariously in the balance. The crucial documents that substantiate their ancestral estates and noble title are hidden within a chest, found by the royal historian. Tragically, the historian meets an untimely demise, and the chest mysteriously vanishes, leaving all clueless about its whereabouts. The historian's demise summons the long-standing rivals of the Price family - the Grays - who descend upon London with their agenda. Amongst them is the haughty Lord Daniel Gray, driven by a deep-seated desire for retribution stemming from an ancient transgression that saw his family's property pass into the hands of the Prices. His presence in Eliza's life becomes an omen of unfortunate events, marked by searing insults unleashed each time their paths cross. Will Eliza navigate this maelstrom of emotions and choices to find her ultimate happiness? And who shall claim the chest concealing the Price family's fortunes? The answers lie within the endless dance of fate, as Eliza's journey unfolds against the backdrop of Georgian society, where love, rivalry, and the pursuit of ancestral legacies intertwine in unexpected ways.

King Henry  by ShellyWritesBooks
64 parts Complete Mature
Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for.
