eBooks Feature Seven Historical Royal Weddings
TORONTO, April 1, 2011 - Harlequin Enterprises Limited (www.eharlequin.com), 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).
