The Queen's Mistake — Diane Haeger

AS THE FIFTH QUEEN OF HENRY VIII, CATHERINE HOWARD WAS UNPREPARED FOR WHAT AWAITED HER...

When young and beautiful Catherine Howard becomes the fifth wife of fifty-year-old King Henry VIII, she seems to be on top of the world. Yet her reign is destined to be brief and heartbreaking, as she is forced to do battle with enemies far more powerful and calculating than she could have ever anticipated, in a court where one wrong move could mean her undoing. Wanting only love, Catherine is compelled to deny her heart's desire in favor of her family's ambition. But in so doing, she unwittingly gives those who seek to bring her down a most effective weapon: her own romantic past.

The Queen's Mistake is the tragic tale of one passionate and idealistic woman who struggles to negotiate the intrigues of the court and the yearnings of her heart.
