Em 1761, num ensolarado dia de setembro, um rei e uma princesa se veem pela primeira vez. Em questão de horas, os dois já estão casados e ela já é uma rainha. Nascida na Alemanha, Charlotte de Mecklenburg-Strelitz é bela, obstinada e incrivelmente inteligente. Não são bem os atributos que a Coroa Britânica busca na esposa do jovem rei George III. Mas logo Charlotte descobre que sua vivacidade e independência são exatamente as características de que mais precisa, porque George tem segredos – e um deles é capaz de ameaçar as estruturas da própria monarquia.

Annabel Winslow è a Londra per la Stagione, alla ricerca di un marito ricco per salvare la famiglia dai guai finanziari. La sua avvenenza attira l'attempato conte di Newbury, il quale desidera un erede per estromettere dalla successione l'odiato nipote Sebastian Grey, un giovane tanto bello quanto scapestrato che nasconde un segreto. Annabel in realtà non ha alcuna voglia di diventare la moglie del vecchio Newbury, che un tempo aveva corteggiato persino sua nonna!

Lady Olivia Bevelstoke ha sentito dire che il suo nuovo, affascinante vicino potrebbe aver ucciso la fidanzata. Non ci crede affatto, però... giusto per essere sicura... forse è meglio tenerlo d'occhio. E così inizia a controllarlo: ben nascosta (o almeno così si illude), passa le ore appostata dietro la finestra della sua camera: osserva, e aspetta. Piano piano scopre un uomo davvero intrigante, che sta chiaramente dissimulando qualcosa. Ma cosa? Sir Harry Valentine lavora per il ministero della Guerra traducendo documenti di importanza vitale per la nazione.

An einem sonnigen Septembertag im Jahr 1761 begegnen sie sich zum ersten Mal. Innerhalb weniger Stunden heiraten sie, und sie werden Geschichte schreiben. Die als deutsche Prinzessin geborene Charlotte von Mecklenburg-Strelitz ist schön, eigensinnig und äußerst intelligent – nicht gerade das, was der britische Hof für den jungen König gesucht hat. Ihr wird es nicht leicht gemacht, sich in der komplizierten Politik des Hofs zurechtzufinden. Und sie muss ihr Herz hüten, denn sie verliebt sich in George, auch wenn er sie wegstößt und erschütternde Geheimnisse verbirgt.

Fino al giorno in cui conosce Nigel Bevelstoke, visconte Turner, il fratello maggiore della sua amica Olivia. Lui ha diciannove anni, è bello come un dio greco, gentile e arguto.
