Download or read book Murder Most Royal written by Jean Plaidy and published by Crown. This book was released on 2006-01-24 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One powerful king. Two tragic queens. In the court of Henry VIII, it was dangerous for a woman to catch the king’s eye. Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were cousins. Both were beautiful women, though very different in temperament. They each learned that Henry’s passion was all-consuming–and fickle. Sophisticated Anne Boleyn, raised in the decadent court of France, was in love with another man when King Henry claimed her as his own. Being his mistress gave her a position of power; being his queen put her life in jeopardy. Her younger cousin, Catherine Howard, was only fifteen when she was swept into the circle of King Henry. Her innocence attracted him, but a past mistake was destined to haunt her. Painted in the rich colors of Tudor England, Murder Most Royal is a page-turning journey into the lives of two of the wives of the tempestuous Henry VIII. Look for the Reading Group Guide at the back of this book. Also available as an ebook.

Book excerpt: Dive into this FREE action-packed, slow burn shifter romance series starter by urban fantasy author Thea Atkinson and enjoy a strong female main character meeting her match in a brooding human mercenary. Pack rules state: "You kill the alpha, you become the alpha." As the pack's enforcer and the alpha's daughter, I know the rules as well as anyone. I just never expected the devious foster brother that we brought into our pack and gave a place to call his would assassinate my father and use those rules to usurp his position. The coward even hired a mercenary to take my young brothers hostage. He's a stoic, powerful human soldier who has no idea what he's up against when he takes his place as guard outside my prison cell. And when I'm forced to become the new alpha's mate so he can solidify his command of the pack, that human delivers me to my doom. But I know something the traitor doesn't. That even if he dangles my brothers' lives in the balance, the pack will never accept an interloper as their leader, even if he uses my position to solidify his. He might think he can starve me into submission while he rallies the pack. He can believe a mere mortal soldier is able to keep me in check while he rallies the pack around him. But he doesn't know the depth of my rage. I'll fake my submission so long as it keeps my brothers safe, and I'll wage war if I have to. Even if it means I have to get close to my enemy. Maybe a bit too close… Readers who love Lauretta Hignett, Taylor Ashton White, or Heather G Harris will find a familiar pleasure in this strong alpha female story. As an escape into an action-packed urban fantasy with a slow burn romance between grumpy, enigmatic mortal men and strong wolf shifter women, this princess becoming a queen story is something you'll want to dive in to today and enjoy the complete series.
