Anne Boleyn enthusiasts will lose their heads over this
sassy and modern rewrite of the tragic tale of Anne Boleyn
and Henry VIII. Carol Wolper takes and Boleyn and Henry
Tudor and turns them into royal icons in present day
Hollywood, California. But while Anne, the girl from the
wrong side of Beverly Hills, catches the eye of the king,
there are those who plot her downfall.
Billionaire, Henry Tudor, is considered royalty among the
rich and famous in Hollywood. Handsome, and fabulously
wealthy, men and women alike long for a chance to catch the
ear of the powerful king of Hollywood. Anne Boleyn is
pretty, but not beautiful. She lives in a modest apartment
in what others consider the least desirable part of Beverly
Hills. But when Henry Tudor meets the seductive dark-eyed
beauty, he feels he has at last met his soul mate. But Anne
knows all too well how fickle Henry's affections can be.
Henry once dated Anne older sister, Mary. Mary was left
brokenhearted after Henry moved on to another in his long
line of
conquests.
Anne is determined to not only win Henry's heart, but to be
the woman who finally gives him a son to rule his vast
empire. Although Henry is mesmerized by Anne's seductive
charms and bedroom manners, she has made many enemies by
catching the eye of Henry Tudor. Henry's first wife,
Catherine, has never stopped loving Henry. When she hears
that Henry has fallen for a sexy, much younger woman, she
refuses to grant him a divorce. But Anne has many other
enemies waiting for an opportunity to do away with her crown
as the Queen of Hollywood.
Henry's Vice President, Theresa Cromwell, helps run Henry's
empire, but she has also decided that Anne involvement in
Henry's business affairs makes her a dangerous enemy. Anne
also finds a dangerous enemy in brother's wife, Lacy. Lacy
is unnerved by the odd relationship between her husband,
George, and his sister. When Theresa and Lacy team up to
bring Anne down, the Queen of Hollywood is ready to fight
for her crown, even if she has to play dirty to do it.
Carol Wolper gives the Tudor court a modern makeover by
placing them in the sexy and glamorous scene in Hollywood,
California. The other Boleyn girl loses none of her allure
and captivating qualities which have immortalized her in
history books. ANNE OF HOLLYWOOD is a clever, funny, and
sexy, modern read about the most intriguing wife of Henry
VIII. Wolper gives Boleyn fans a tasty treat as she
transforms a doomed queen into a very modern Californian
girl who isn't afraid to get down and dirty to keep her king.
“I wasn't prepared for the enemies. Had I been as gorgeous
as a supermodel, or as rich as an heiress, or an actress
with an Oscar to my credit, people would still not be happy
that I had Henry's attention, but they'd understand. What
they resented was the king coupling with a 'nobody.'” Skirts
may be shorter now, and messages sent by iPhone, but
passion, intrigue, and a lust for power don't change.
National bestselling author Carol Wolper spins a mesmerizing
tale of a twenty-first-century Anne Boleyn. Wily,
intelligent, and seductive, with a dark beauty that stands
out among the curvy California beach blondes, Anne attracts
the attention of Henry Tudor, the handsome corporate mogul
who reigns in Hollywood. Every starlet, socialite, and shark
wants a piece of Henry, but he only wants Anne. The question
is: can she keep him? Welcome to a privileged world where
hidden motives abound, everyone has something to sell, and
safe havens don't exist. With her older sister Mary, a
pathetic example of a royal has-been, Anne schemes to win
her beloved Henry in the only way that gives a promise of
forever—marriage. Success will mean contending with
backstabbing “friends,” Henry's furious ex-wife, and the
machinations of her own ambitious family, and staying
married to a man who has more options than most and less
guilt than is good for either of them will take all her
skill. Anne will do anything to hold on to the man—and the
lifestyle—she adores, however, even if sticking your neck
out in Hollywood means risking far worse than a broken
heart. With Henry's closest confidante scheming against her,
and another beautiful contender waiting in the wings, Anne
is fighting for her life. Can she muster the charm and wit
to pull off her very own Hollywood ending?
