The Prince and The Pekingese

Although she lives in an elegant and impressive household in London’s prestigious Belgrave Square, the beautiful young Angelina Medwin’s life is not a very glamorous or romantic one. 

Most of her time is taken up with caring for her ailing grandmother, Lady Medwin, and acceding to the considerable demands of her beloved white Pekingese called Twi-Twi, who Angelina frequently walks in the Square’s flower-filled, secluded and leafy private garden. 

London is buzzing with excitement about the forthcoming Coronation of King Edward VII and the neighbouring Cephalonian Ministry, aglitter with official brass and braid, is no exception.

 Just before the great event a chance meeting in the square with the dashing and handsome Prince Xenos of Cephalonia, no less, puts Angelina’s whole life in a spin as she loses her heart utterly to a man who can never marry her. 

Angelina and Twi-Twi are in the garden at a crucial time when an assassin is intending to kill Prince Xenos and she is alerted by Twi-Twi so that she warn the Prince.

But despite this, little does she know that her one hope of true love and happiness lies in the Greek blood that courses through in her veins and which she has always kept secret on the strict orders of her family!
