Told she was an orphan, she knows the rumor-that her father is none other than the Prince of Wales, heir to the British throne. And at her childhood home at Cairo's Shepheard's Hotel, where royals, rulers, and the wealthy live, they even called her "The Princess." But her life is turned upside down when she turns seventeen. Sent to London under the chaperonage of her very proper aunt, she's told it's time to learn manners and make her debut. But Cleo's life can't be confined to a ballroom. She longs for independence and a career as a jewelry designer for Cartier, but she cannot move forward until she finds out about her past. Determined to unlock the truth, Cleo travels from London, back to Cairo, and then Paris, where her investigations take a shocking turn into the world of the Parisian demi-monde, and a high-class courtesan whose scandalous affair with the young Prince of Wales threatened to bring down the British monarchy long before anyone had heard of Wallis Simpson"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Orphans $v Fiction. $9 83251 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. $9 111034 650 0 $a Courtesans $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Windsor, Edward, $c Duke of, $d 1894-1972 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Fiction. $9 78031 651 0 $a Cairo (Egypt) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $v Fiction. $9 82410 651 0 $a Paris (France) $v Fiction. $9 81349 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft $9 83459 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $9 200624 941 $a 11 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716042326.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710064520.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013549.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20240302012451.0 952 $l TSPC862 $d 20240220010455.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014814.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20231107011105.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20231027010617.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231005010509.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20231003012256.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20230912012006.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=77737CD4513211EE8C3E61A62AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
