Set in the swinging sixties, a determined journalist navigates the glamorous yet treacherous world of British high society while uncovering secrets and facing romantic dilemmas in The Royal Correspondent.

In The Royal Correspondent, the latest novel from the bestselling author of The Paris Model, readers are transported to the vibrant world of 1960s London.

As she navigates this elite society filled with glamour and intrigue, Blaise finds herself at the center of explosive scandals that threaten to upend the British establishment.

Amidst the backdrop of social upheaval, Blaise must confront her own past, which casts a shadow over her present. Torn between two compelling men and surrounded by hidden motives, she grapples with trust and betrayal in a world where alliances are constantly shifting. The stakes are high; a misstep could lead to devastating consequences, and Blaise's journey becomes one of self-discovery as she seeks to uncover the truth behind the facade of royal life.
