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.Complete

Before the morning mist veils the Tower for the last time, I shall bequeath my truth to the silence of history." London, 1542. Within the hallowed and chilling confines of the Tower of London, a noblewoman finds solace in the scratching of a quill.

As Vittoria navigates the treacherous waters of court politics, she must balance her family's ambitions with her own desires. Torn between duty and the unexpected stirrings of her heart, she finds herself drawn to Henry in ways she never anticipated. What begins as a calculated manoeuvre to secure her family's future soon spirals into a passionate love affair that will shape the fate of a kingdom. Henry VIII x oc
