Publishers Description: A prince, a glamorous socialite, and a tragic romance fated to change the course of history.Edward VIII became notorious, but in the summer of 1911 he was a prince straight from a fairy-tale. Raised by the harsh disciplinarian King George V, he longed for a different life.The high society Houghton girls' lives were full of fun, both at their magnificent home Snowberry, and at the glamorous parties which punctuated their lives. When a moment of serendipity brings Edward and Lily Houghton together, the pressures of court are replaced with the lightness that Edward has dreamt of. But a future monarch could not choose his own Queen, and even an enduring love might falter under the furious gaze of a King. Could the devotion of Edward and Lily triumph against him and the impending doom of World War I? Or would they set in train events that could bring down the Crown, and change the course of history forever?
