In the latest paperback in the New York Times
bestselling Royal Spyness series, Lady Georgiana Rannoch
juggles secret missions from the Queen, Darcy, and her
mother. But it’s all in a day’s work when you’re
thirty-fifth in line to the British Crown.
When royal sleuth Georgie Rannoch receives a letter from her
dearest friend Belinda, who’s in an Italian villa awaiting
the birth of her illegitimate baby, she yearns to run to her
side. If only she could find a way to get there! But then
opportunity presents itself in a most unexpected way—her
cousin the queen asks her to attend a house party in the
Italian Lake Country. The Prince of Wales and the
dreadful Mrs. Simpson have been invited, and Her Majesty is
anxious to thwart a possible secret wedding.
What luck! A chance to see Belinda, even if it is under the
guise of stopping unwanted nuptials. Only that’s as far as
Georgie’s fortune takes her. She soon discovers that she
attended finishing school with the hostess of the party—and
the hatred they had for each other then has barely dimmed.
Plus, she needs to hide Belinda’s delicate condition from
the other guests. And her dashing beau, Darcy’s (naturally)
working undercover on a dangerous mission. Then her actress
mother shows up, with a not-so-little task to perform. With
all this subterfuge, it seems something is bound to go
horribly wrong—and Georgie will no doubt be left to pick up
the pieces when it does.
