From the press release:
Harlequin Enterprises Limited, a global leader in series romance and one of the world’s leading publishers of books for women, announced today the release of seven special Royal Wedding eBook novellas to celebrate the April wedding of the decade between Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The Royal Weddings collection features an intriguing mix of historical fact and fiction that centers around seven real-life royal weddings from the twelfth to the nineteenth century. Six of the nuptials in the collection feature Prince William‘s forebears, while a seventh focuses on Emperor Napoleon’s second spectacularly lavish wedding.
Senior editor Linda Fildew said: “These seven short stories brilliantly capture the drama, pomp and ceremony and high passion of real-life royal weddings. From Eleanor of Aquitaine to Queen Victoria, these royal romances through the ages bring history vividly to life.”
The titles include Terri Brisbin‘s WHAT THE DUCHESS WANTS (Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine and Henry of Anjou, the future Henry II, 1152), Michelle Willingham‘s LIONHEART’S BRIDE (King Richard and Princess Berengaria, 1191), Bronwyn Scott‘s PRINCE CHARMING IN DISGUISE (Prince George and Caroline of Ansbach, 1704), Elizabeth Rolls‘s A PRINCELY DILEMMA (George, Prince of Wales—future George IV—and Princess Caroline of Brunswick, 1795), Ann Lethbridge‘s PRINCESS CHARLOTTE’S CHOICE (Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold, 1816), Mary Nichols‘s WITH VICTORIA’S BLESSING (Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, 1840) and Lucy Ashford‘s THE PROBLEM WITH JOSEPHINE (Emperor Napoleon and Archduchess Marie-Louise of Austria, 1810).
