So you've read The Other Boleyn Girl, and you want to write a historical fiction novel about the life of Anne Boleyn, too? We suggest The Boleyn Betrayal as a title. Or maybe Too Many Boleyn Betrayals to Count would be more accurate, but that title doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
Whichever title you choose, there are plenty of Boleyn betrayals to talk about. These people double-cross and backstab others as naturally as they eat and breathe.
