Summary
But the universe wants to give her a second chance, it seems, and it’s on her to make sure it turns out better.
Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.
Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded… alive? Make it so for all six of Henry VIII’s wives, reincarnated and living together in London. The queens navigate their new life together, but while running from the past is easy, outstripping it is hard, especially upon the arrival of a stranger who uncannily resembles Henry.
And you know, no one ever really forgets their first time.

Summary
Like the snap back of a rubber band, she wants to yell that whether or not she messes this up, she deserves to be respected, she deserves to be heard.
But if there’s anything Kitty is afraid of after all these years, it’s pain.
With new friends, new jobs, and five centuries to catch up on, the queens are finally ready to explore the world outside their tiny London flat. But for all its novelty and glamour, mistakes can be made in this new life just as well as the old. And so more than one of them finds that guilt is even harder to escape than memories.
It all comes out when Anne finds the flowers.

Summary
With these things, Kitty knows, there are no in betweens.
One minute Anne is cooking beef bourguignon, the next she’s crying on a park bench in a freezing January winter over a pun on hot wings.
But then, of all people, Anna knows the price you pay for beauty, and the price you pay for love.
Apparently hearts are expensive to fix but don’t cost much in the breaking.
