Secrets of the Tudor Court Boxed Set

Lavish praise for Kate Emerson and

the Secrets of the Tudor Court series

Between Two Queens

“Emerson skillfully crafts a strong heroine who maintains careful command of her sexuality and independence. Nan’s behavior is as brave as it is scandalous for the time, and Emerson makes readers appreciate the consequences of Nan’s choices.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Emerson’s sharp eye for court nuances, intrigues, and passions thrusts readers straight into Nan’s life, and the swift pace will sweep you along.”

—Romantic Times

The Pleasure Palace

“Emerson creates a riveting historical novel of the perils of the Tudor court, vividly fictionalizing historical characters and breathing new life into their personalities and predicaments.”

—Booklist

“Jane Popyncourt is not the idealistically virginal heroine but a skillful player in the intrigues of the Tudor court, who manages to get what she wants without selling too much of herself in the bargain. It is this heroine that separates the book from the pack.”

—Publishers Weekly

“No one knows the unusual customs and dangerous characters of the Tudor court like Kate Emerson. She brings its scandals to life in this beautifully researched novel, the first in a fascinating new historical series. History, love, lust, power ambitions—The Pleasure Palace is a pleasure indeed.”

—Karen Harper, author of The Queen’s Governess

“Rich and lushly detailed, teeming with passion and intrigue, this is a novel in which you can happily immerse yourself in another time and place.”

—Romantic Times
