The Sixth Wife
Clever, level-headed Katherine Parr survived four years of marriage to Henry V111. But when Thomas Seymour won her heart not even a year after the old king’s death, their hasty union undid a lifetime of caution.
Catherine, Duchess of Suffolk, is Kate Parr’s best friend. An unwilling witness to the dowager queen’s late-blossoming love, she harbours suspicions of Kate’s handsome, ambitious new husband. But as she is drawn deeper into the web of politics ensnaring her oldest friend, it becomes clear she has her own dark tale to tell. For if Thomas might betray his wife for power, then sharp, canny Cathy might betray her for passion.
