King Henry VIII has divorced his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves.
Now he has set his sights on Catherine Howard.
But unwittingly, this flirtatious "rose without a thorn" has become part of her aristocratic uncle's plan to expand his influence at court.
Catherine is all too aware of the affect she has on the lovesick king - and plays her part in the Duke of Norfolk's plans.
But Catherine has a secret. Unknown to the king, he is not her first lover. She is not quite as innocent as Henry believes.
In the meanwhile, Tower guard, John Butcher, is ordered to watch over Catherine. Desire proves sovereign over duty.
What will happen when Henry discovers the truth about Catherine?
Catherine Howard: Wife & Mistress is a tale of passion and political intrigue.
