1932. Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie of Glen Garry and Rannoch -- Georgie to friends -- is the thirty-fourth in the line of succession to the throne of England, a true lady educated in select Swiss boarding schools, from a noble family and... in ruin. At the age of twenty-one, fleeing from a possible arrangement with a marriageable prince, she decides to leave the family castle in Scotland and move to London to forge her destiny. But it's not going to be that easy. As her sister-in-law always tells him: "a member of the royal family, no matter how secondary, has the duty not to disappoint his own". Georgie will not hesitate to honor her lineage, even if it means hiding her identity to provide for her sustenance, spy on the Prince of Wales on the orders of the Queen or clarify how a dead man ended up in her bathtub.Author Biography
