Book description
Princess Mary Rose is the youngest sister of King Henry VIII, and one
of the few people whom he adores unconditionally. Known throughout

family and is granted her every wish. Except when it comes to
marriage.
Henry, locked in a political showdown with France, decides to offer
up his pampered sister to secure peace between the two mighty
kingdoms. Mary is unwillingly sent to France to marry the ailing King
Louis, leaving behind her true love, Charles Brandon. But she will do
anything to be reunited with Charles, even defy her brother, the most
feared man in Europe...
