About this ebook

Lily’s life is turned upside down when she suddenly finds herself trapped in the body of Catherine Howard, King Henry VIII's doomed fifth wife. Can she make it out of Tudor England with her head and her heart intact? Slip into this raunchy, irreverent time travel romance!

Lily's trip to England with her best friend was meant to be a reset after a stressful year of grad school and disastrous dates. But when a visit to Hampton Court Palace ends with the full Tudor experience, Lily needs a plan to make it back to the 21st century stat. 

Everyone is calling her Catherine, and to her dismay, Lily learns that she's caught the eye of the King—none other than Henry VIII. Lily's PhD is in psychology, not history, but even she knows that being married to Henry does not bode well for her life expectancy.

As she navigates her precarious position, Lily can't seem to stay away from Simon Gainsford, the king's champion jouster. A jock with a heart of gold, Simon understands Lily better than any guy she's met, and every dark corridor presents a new opportunity to continue their dangerous, white-hot affair.

Meanwhile, smoldering courtier Francis Dereham (who seems to think they are secretly married?!) won't stay away, and the king's sinfully handsome groom, Thomas Culpeper, is also quite...persistent. 

In the Tudor era, rumors can get you killed. Lily is determined to change her fate, but everyone knows how this story ends…right?  

Lily’s life is turned upside down when she suddenly finds herself trapped in the body of Catherine Howard, King Henry VIII's doomed fifth wife. Can she make it out of Tudor England with her head and her heart intact? Slip into this raunchy, irreverent time travel romance! Lily's trip to England w...

Lily’s post-grad trip to England takes a wild turn when she wakes up in the body of Catherine Howard, soon to be Henry VIII’s doomed fifth wife. This book is hilarious. It’s not quite what I expected—Lily’s behavior is even more reckless than the real Catherine Howard’s. But the story is a romp, and it’s better to view it that way, rather than expecting Lily to make smart choices. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
