This is a classic of old style historical romance, back before we all got educated that "no" means "no." Lots of dominance and submission histrionics. Wonderfully cheesy and over-the top. Conquering hero has to wed one of two Saxon sisters. Mistaken identity--oops---"the one I really really want I can't have so I gotta marry the ugly one." Complications ensue. Lusty hero and heroine safely wed by end.
