Princess of Desire — Maureen Peters

Romance Reigned

Mary-Rose Tudor, princess and daughter to King Henry VII, had been taught that ladies of the blood royal do not marry for love but for political reasons. Fated by her position to be wed to gain prestige and power for England, she was determined to marry only for love -- and cared little about promoting the aims of the empire and her father.

Mary-Rose fought for the right to live as she chose -- but there were many who sought to hinder the passionate and headstrong young women as she struggled to find her heart's desire -- amidst the false and sinister shadows surrounding the glittering courts of France and England.
