England under "Bloody Mary." The adventure, danger and intrigue of Tudor England, plus a deeply felt love story - it's all here for you in my latest release, THE KING'S DAUGHTER.

And don't miss where the adventure began - with THE QUEEN'S LADY, set in the turbulent reign of Henry VIII. 

There will be more books to come in this series. I hope you'll enjoy being caught up in the passions and setbacks, adventures and strivings of the Thornleigh family - Honor, Richard, Isabel, and Adam - as they befriend, and sometimes betray, their willful kings and queens.

Happy reading!

Sincerely,
Barbara Kyle
