Torn between his kingdom and the woman he loves. . .
William Tudor, now King Henry IX, sits alone on the throne. But England must still contend with those who doubt his legitimacy. William is betrothed to a young princess from France, but still he has eyes only for his childhood friend Minuette, and court tongues are wagging.
Even more dangerous – if discovered – is that Minuette’s heart and soul belong to Dominic, William’s best friend and trusted advisor. . .
