Frustrated by his own failures at matrimony, King Henry VIII punishes an innocent nobleman by commanding him to marry the vagabond woman caught stealing his horse. Stephen de Lacey is a cold and bitter widower, long accustomed to the sovereign's malicious whims. He regards his new bride as utterly inconvenient ... though undeniably fetching. But Juliana Romanov is no ordinary thief - she is a Russian princess forced into hiding by the slaughter of her family. What begins as a mockery of marriage blossoms into deepest love.
