Synopsis
For fans of The Tudors comes a captivating drama about the only woman who could defy Henry VIII -and keep her life.
Mary Tudor, the headstrong younger sister of the ruthless King Henry VII, has always been her brother's favorite-but now she is also an important political bargaining chip. When she is promised to the elderly, ailing King Louis of France, a heartbroken Mary accepts her fate, but not before extracting a promise from her brother: When the old king dies, her next marriage shall be solely of her choosing. For Mary has a forbidden passion, and is determined, through her own cunning, courage, and boldness, to forge her own destiny.
The Secret Bride is the triumphant tale of one extraordinary woman who meant to stay true to her heart and live her life just as her royal brother did- by her own rules...

June 24, 2009: Really gives you an insight into Henry & Mary's relationship as brother and sister. Tells a wonderful love story about Charles Brandon and Mary Tudor! I have never read this author before but have read numerous books on the Tudors, but I found her writing style easy and engaging.

April 14, 2009: I just love books like this, fictional based on history around Henry Vlll. I totally recommand this one and the author. This is my first book read by Diane Haeger. I loved this one so much I went and bought "Courtesan" by her, and it's just as good as this one.
