In the summer of 1925, Thelma Morgan arrives at the Paris Ritz still stinging from the heartache and humiliation of her failed marriage. Her twin sister, Gloria, newly and blissfully wedded to Reginald Vanderbilt and with a baby in tow, has invited her to spend the summer-and though romance is the last thing on Thelma's mind, she can't deny that Reggie's friend Duke Furness is as charming and dapper as he is keen to win her affection. When Thelma marries Duke-a British viscount-she finds herself immersed in a gilded world of extraordinary wealth and aristocracy, where politeness is valued over morality and the rules of conduct differ wildly depending on your sex and the family into which you were born. In a twist of fate, her second marriage leads her to fall headlong into a love affair with Edward, Prince of Wales. But happiness is fleeting, and their love is threatened when Thelma's sister becomes embroiled in a scandal with far-reaching implications. As Thelma sails to New York to support Gloria, she leaves Edward in the hands of her trusted friend Wallis, never imagining the consequences that will follow. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Furness, Thelma,|cLady,|d1904-|vFiction. 600 10 Windsor, Edward,|cDuke of,|d1894-1972|vFiction. 600 10 Vanderbilt, Gloria Morgan,|d1904-1965|vFiction. 650 0 Man-woman relationships|vFiction. 650 0 Twin sisters|vFiction. 650 0 Aristocracy (Social class)|zGreat Britain|vFiction. 650 0 Americans|zGreat Britain|vFiction. 650 0 Adultery|vFiction. 650 0 Betrayal|vFiction. 650 0 Electronic books. 651 0 Great Britain|xHistory|yGeorge V, 1910-1936|vFiction. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12575504?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ hqn_9781488058929_180.jpeg
