TARNISH

This compelling sequel to GILT is the second book in the Royal Circle Series.

Anne Boleyn is the odd girl out. Newly arrived to the court of King Henry VIII, everything about her seems wrong, from her clothes to her manners to her witty but sharp tongue. So when the dashing poet Thomas Wyatt offers to teach her how to shine at court—and to con-vince everyone they’re lovers—she accepts. Before long, Anne’s popu-larity has soared, and even the charismatic and irresistible king takes notice. More than popularity, Anne wants a voice—but she also wants love. What began as a game becomes high stakes as Anne finds her-self forced to make an impossible choice between her heart’s desire and the chance to make history.

She is working on the final book in the series now.
