Anastasia is about to be married, which should be the most exciting
day of any young girl's life. Pretty, impulsive and wise beyond her
years it seems that the young Princess will make an ideal bride for
one lucky man. There is only one flaw in the wedding plans ? she is
not in love with her bridegroom. Commanded to marry by Queen
Victoria, Anastasia is horror struck at the thought of an arranged
marriage. Having dreamt of true love since childhood, she despairs
that a marriage based on political allegiance can ever be a happy
one. Especially when her bridegroom, the handsome King of Maurona,
is reputed to have a preference for anything French, including the
seductive wife of Maurona's French ambassador. Determined to do her
duty, Anastasia prepares to meet her future husband just days
before their wedding. The roar of the assembled crowd tells her
that she has won the love and approval of the people, but will she
ever have the love of their King? As passions and political
intrigue simmer amidst the idyllic palaces and sun-kissed olive
groves of Maurona, Anastasia decides that this is a challenge she
must rise to. As well as ensuring British protection for the tiny
Principality from the greedy hands of neighbouring France, she
determines to make her marriage a success. But can an innocent
English rose compete with the dark smoldering beauty of the sensual
Comtesse le Granmont? Two women, one man and only one winner ? but
as danger grows ever closer will the King realise who his real
friends are, and which woman should be at his side, in time to save
his country?
