An exiled princess. A reclusive duke. A love neither dared hope for.
In a land of thistles and thrones, will she trade a crown for a quiet kind of freedom?
A Rose Among Thistles is a lush, emotionally charged historical novel set in an alternate Tudor world where love dares to bloom in the cracks of royal ambition.
Stripped of her title and dignity by her father, Henry VIII, eighteen-year-old Princess Mary seeks refuge in the Highlands of Scotland. There, a political alliance binds her to Lachlan Stewart, the reclusive Duke of Dunbrae-a man haunted by loss and uninterested in courtly games. But neither expected a marriage of duty to stir something deeper.
As court intrigue mounts and old loyalties fracture, Mary must choose between reclaiming her place on the English throne-or embracing the quiet, hard-won freedom of a life built not on power, but on love.

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
