To paraphrase a book report by a student I read about years ago I liked the beginning and the ending but it was too long in the middle. This young couple had known each other for many years, but at the time he thought he was a bastard and so far beneath her that he could not even think of courting her. After winning knighthood he garnered wealth and favor, but had made a vow to her to treat her chastely. She'd rather seduce him, but he won't ask her to release him from his vow.
Interesting historical background of the Plantagenet attempts to seize the English throne, with references to the plight of the two princes who disappeared from the Tower, and an attempt to divide the followers of the current pretender.
Normally I can read a book this size in a few hours if it holds my interest; this one didn't and so took several days of off & on reading before finishing.
Probably best read after reading earlier books in trilogy, to maintain the continuity of the monarchy.

From the back cover:

The youngest of the fabled Three Graces of Graydon is waylaid from her bridal cortege, preserving one man from the notorious curse. But another may yet fall.
When Lady Marguerite Milton is abducted by the enigmaticand famously insatiableGolden Knight, it is the stuff of fantasy. Or would be, if Marguerite weren't pining for her David, who pledged his devotion ten years beforeand disappeared. But the only thing more heartbreaking than a man that does not keep his word is one bound by it.

David is the Golden Knight, reaffirming his oath to protect Marguerite and, maddeningly, to love her, but chastely. More infuriatingly, Marguerite has been a pawnbait to lure David into King Henry VII's latest intrigue. To divide Yorkist insurrectionists, David is groomed as a rival to their latest pretender to the throne.

Marguerite is desperate. If David fails, the rebels will destroy him; if he succeeds, Henry will not scruple to execute the would-be king he himself created. Suddenly, love and life seem far beyond the reach of any mere curse.
