Step through the palace gates and discover a captivating historical novel of royal secrets and forbidden love exploring the tempestuous courtship between Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip in the wake of WWII . . .  

A fantastic choice for fans of Netflix's The Crown, Fiona Harding has crafted a wonderfully poignant love story which peals back the curtain and allows readers a glimpse into the lives of characters we all think we know about.
