Anne is in no mood to receive her king. He has torn from her the one man she loved: Harry Percy, who was forced to marry another. But King Henry VIII is not a man who gives up&mdash;the thrill of the chase only excites him more. Yet the woman he desires so passionately is no fool. Educated at the French court, Anne vows that she will not share the fate of her na&iuml;ve younger sister, Mary, who after bearing Henry a bastard son was cast away and married off to a country squire.

As James vows to fight against the invading British Army, Katharine must follow her own path, even as it leads her into the arms of another man, far from the heart of her true desires and her beloved home of Clandara. The French Bride: To settle his gambling debts and avoid being sent to the Bastille, Charles Macdonald is given an ultimatum: He must marry his cousin, the beautiful, innocent Anne de Bernard&mdash;who also happens to be the richest woman in France. However, the dissolute Charles wants only to return to the bed of his mistress, the Baroness Louise de Vitale. When Anne is brought to Versailles at the king&rsquo;s command, the inexperienced bride is no match for Louise&rsquo;s wiles. As two women fight for the love of one man, a deadly intrigue will unfold that could destroy one life as it transforms another. Set against a rich historical canvas&mdash;from eighteenth-century Scotland to the French Courts&mdash;and peopled by such real-life figures as Bonnie Prince Charlie, King Louis XV, Madame du Barry, and future queen Marie Antoinette, the Macdonald Romances are prize-winning Anthony at her spellbinding best.</div>

The Macdonald Romances

<div>Three novels by the prize-winning international-bestselling author in one volume &mdash;the complete saga of Catherine the Great&rsquo;s passionate rise to power. The Romanov Trilogy brings three of Evelyn Anthony&rsquo;s most successful works together in one collection following the dramatic life of Catherine the Great. Rebel Princess: Augusta Fredericka&rsquo;s fantasy of reigning as Catherine the Great comes true after marrying Grand Duke Peter Romanov. But the repulsive&mdash;and sexually and emotionally impotent&mdash;heir to the Russian throne is not the man she expects. A succession of lovers may fulfill her, but they&rsquo;ve also left her vulnerable to her seditious husband&rsquo;s plot to have her arrested for treason. Curse Not the King: Since her husband&rsquo;s assassination, Catherine has ruled for a decade. But her son&mdash;the rightful heir to the throne&mdash;has never forgiven her seizure of power, or forgotten his father&rsquo;s murder. Little does he know the sacrifices she&rsquo;s made&mdash;as mother and empress&mdash;to safeguard his liberty and life. Now, all Catherine can do is pray that her son&rsquo;s blind rage won&rsquo;t destroy them both. Far Flies the Eagle: Following victory in Europe, Gen. Napoleon Bonaparte is ready for his next conquest: Russia. What has he to fear from such a young czar? But Alexander, the grandson of Catherine the Great, should not be underestimated. A powerful adversary, he&rsquo;s already murdered his own father to ascend to the throne. Vanquishing the French emperor will be a pleasure. Sweeping from Paris to the Kremlin to the battlefield, Anthony&rsquo;s historically authentic trilogy offers a fascinating glimpse into the Romanov family and of the grand ambitions of one woman. &ldquo;Miss Anthony knows how to highlight the . . . drama and intrigue that gradually change a trembling girl into a woman of brilliance and power&rdquo; (The New York Times).</div>

The Romanov Trilogy

<div>British history comes to vivid life in these three novels of royal love and intrigue by an international bestselling author. Victoria and Albert: Drawn from Queen Victoria&rsquo;s diaries and correspondences, Evelyn Anthony&rsquo;s novel reimagines the story of how a sheltered eighteen-year-old girl ascended to the British throne, became a major force in politics, and fell in love with her cousin, Prince Albert. Spanning the first twenty-one years of her reign, Victoria and Albert is an unforgettable love story and &ldquo;a sympathetic picture of a marriage which makes its royalty human in their frailties and their strengths&rdquo; (Kirkus Reviews). Anne Boleyn: Sixteenth-century history comes thrillingly alive as King Henry VIII courts Anne Boleyn, who will settle for nothing less than the crown of England&mdash;even if Henry has to break with Rome in order to marry her. Anthony&rsquo;s sweeping novel features a teeming canvas of iconic real-life characters: Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, the enemy Anne vows to destroy; Henry&rsquo;s first wife, the proud and pious Queen Catherine of Aragon; and Thomas Cromwell, who engineers Anne&rsquo;s downfall. From the halcyon early days of courtship to her imprisonment in the palace tower for treason, this is a &ldquo;solid and vigorous story&rdquo; of love, ambition, and the tragic destiny of Anne of the Thousand Days (The New York Times). Elizabeth: The sickly Catholic fanatic Mary Tudor has reigned for six years when her half-sister Elizabeth ascends to the throne. After enduring years of exile following the execution of her mother, Anne Boleyn, the twenty-five-year-old Elizabeth inherits a realm divided by religious turmoil and financial collapse. Focusing on the first three decades of Elizabeth I&rsquo;s reign, Anthony chronicles the monarch&rsquo;s long battle with her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots, for the throne, and the Virgin Queen&rsquo;s relationship with the Earl of Leicester.</div>
