About the book
More surprises than they had ever imagined await Iris Sparks and Gwendolyn Bainbridge of The Right Sort Marriage Bureau as they are suddenly tasked with delving into the history of a suitor of a royal princess in Allison Montclair's charming second book, A Royal Affair.
Set in London in 1946, The Right Sort Marriage Bureau is on the rise, and its owners, Miss Iris Sparks and Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge, are in need of a larger office and a secretary to keep up with the increasing demand. Unfortunately, they lack the necessary funds. So, when Gwen's cousin arrives with a lucrative proposal, the two women are eager to listen.
Gwen's cousin, Lady Matheson, is connected to the Queen in some capacity and requires a discreet investigation. The Princess Elizabeth has become fond of a charming Greek prince, but a blackmail note suggesting damaging information about the prince has surfaced. In order to keep this scandal out of the palace gossip, while also uncovering any potential secrets the prince may be hiding, the palace has turned to Gwen and Iris for help. Now, without causing a commotion, the pair must uncover the truth about the prince's past before his engagement to the future Queen of England is made public. Not only does the future of the Empire hang in the balance, but also their chance for a new office.
