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 <i>and</i> the dreadful Mrs. Simpson have been invited, and Her Majesty is anxious to thwart a possible secret wedding. <p/>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for the Royal Spyness Mysteries</b> <p/>"Wonderful characters...A delight."--#1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Charlaine Harris <p/>"An insightful blend of old-fashioned whodunnit, clever satire and drawing room comedy of errors."--<i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Jacqueline Winspear <p/>"Brilliant...This is so much more than a murder mystery.
