How about the Josephine B Trilogy by Sandra Gulland? Napoleon and Josephine Bonaparte, the French Revolution. Reading order:
The Many Lives and Secret Sorrows of Josephine B
Tales of Passion, Tales of Woe
The Last Great Dance on Earth
Judith Merkle Riley's Margaret of Ashbury trilogy is a medieval read, and for lack of a better word, 'lighter' than most historical fiction I've read because of the sense of humour.
Reading order: A Vision of Light; In Pursuit of the Green Lion; The Water Devil
I haven't read her stand-alone books yet - she doesn't have a big backlist and she passed away last year.
Linda Holeman's books are set in far off places.
I've only read The Moonlit Cage (Afganistan).
Sort of similar to Diana Gabaldon, Jules Watson's Dalriada trilogy. Scotland, in Roman times with a druid/priestess heroine.
The White Mare
The Dawn Stag
The Boar Stone
Stealing Athena by Karen Essex (haven't read Leonardo's Swans, but it's on my wishlist because I liked this one). Dual time narrative with two women at opposite ends of the Elgin Marbles – one the wife of a diplomat, determined to bring them to England, and the other a philosopher-courtesan during the sculptures' creation.
The Outlander by Gil Adamson - a young widow on the run, with her twin brothers-in-law in hot pursuit, in the Canadian wilderness.
I have no idea about ebook availability, sorry - read all of these in book form.
