Gabrielle d'Esrées' one wish is to marry for love, but her mother sells her as a mistress to three different men before she catches the eye - and the heart - of Henry of Navarre, King of France. Henry promises to marry her, but Gabrielle's difficulties have just begun . . . for Henry's wife will only divorce him if he promises not to marry Gabrielle. Is the love of a king enough to secure her both the happiness and respectability she craves and a crown for their son as the next dauphin of France?
