Rose of Rapture (1984) is a RomanceNovel by American author Rebecca Brandewyne which takes place during the UsefulNotes/WarsOfTheRoses and contains a LoveAcrossBattlelines plot in which the OfficialCouple find themselves on the opposite sides of the war, with the hero siding with Henry Tudor and the heroine siding with UsefulNotes/RichardIII. The novel's main plot is of the standard, bodice ripper variety, but the novel has gained a cult following due to its well-researched and complex political backstory. The author takes pains to show neither side as being right or wrong in the conflict, though it does give Richard III a HistoricalHeroUpgrade.
