Named One of the Best Books of the Week by the New York Post! In a
historical debut evoking the style of The Crown, the daughter of an
impoverished noble is swept into the fame and notoriety of the
royal family and Princess Margaret's fast-living friends when she
is appointed as Margaret's second Lady-in-Waiting. Diana,
Catherine, Meghan...glamorous Princess Margaret outdid them all.
Springing into post-World War II society, and quite naughty and
haughty, she lived in a whirlwind of fame and notoriety. Georgie
Blalock captures the fascinating, fast-living princess and her
"set" as seen through the eyes of one of her ladies-in-waiting. In
dreary, post-war Britain, Princess Margaret captivates everyone
with her cutting edge fashion sense and biting quips. The royal
socialite, cigarette holder in one hand, cocktail in the other,
sparkles in the company of her glittering entourage of wealthy
young aristocrats known as the Margaret Set, but her outrageous
lifestyle conflicts with her place as Queen Elizabeth's younger
sister. Can she be a dutiful princess while still dazzling the
world on her own terms? Post-war Britain isn't glamorous for The
Honorable Vera Strathmore. While writing scandalous novels, she
dreams of living and working in New York, and regaining the
happiness she enjoyed before her fiance was killed in the war. A
chance meeting with the Princess changes her life forever. Vera
amuses the princess, and what-or who-Margaret wants, Margaret gets.
Soon, Vera gains Margaret's confidence and the privileged position
of second lady-in-waiting to the Princess. Thrust into the center
of Margaret's social and royal life, Vera watches the princess's
love affair with dashing Captain Peter Townsend unfurl. But while
Margaret, as a member of the Royal Family, is not free to act on
her desires, Vera soon wants the freedom to pursue her own dreams.
As time and Princess Margaret's scandalous behavior progress, both
women will be forced to choose between status, duty, and love...
