The Royal Windsor secret : a novel / by Wells, Christine,author.;
Could she be the secret daughter of the Prince of Wales? In this dazzling novel, a young woman seeks to discover the truth about her mysterious past. Cleo Davenport has heard the whispers: the murmured conversations that end abruptly the second she walks into a room. Told she was an orphan, she knows the rumour - 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 17. 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.

And though she is confined by public perception and societal conventions, one thing is certain--she will never bow to them"--
