En los años de entreguerras, un transatlántico, el Virginian, recorría las rutas entre Europa y América, con una carga de millonarios, de turistas, de emigrantes... En el Virginian tocaba cada noche un pianista extraordinario, llamado Novecento, con una técnica maravillosa, capaz de arrancar notas mágicas, inauditas.

«-¿Usted no encuentra, pues, odioso, despreciable, que una mujer abandone a su marido y a sus hijos para seguir a un hombre cualquiera, del que nada sabe, ni siquiera si es digno de amor? ¿Puede usted realmente excusar una conducta tan atolondrada y liviana en una mujer que, además, no es ya una jovencita y que siquiera por amor a sus hijas hubiese debido preocuparse de su propia dignidad?»

The Stranger appears out of nowhere, perhaps in a bar, or a parking lot, or at the grocery store. Their identity is unknown. Their motives are unclear. Their information is undeniable. Then they whisper a few words in your ear and disappear, leaving you picking up the pieces of your shattered world... Adam Price has a lot to lose: a comfortable marriage to a beautiful woman, two wonderful sons, and all the trappings of the American Dream: a big house, a good job, a seemingly perfect life. Then he runs into the Stranger. When he learns a devastating secret about his wife, Corinne, he confronts her, and the mirage of perfection disappears as if it never existed at all. Soon Adam finds himself tangled in something far darker than even Corinne's deception, and realizes that if he doesn't make exactly the right moves, the conspiracy he’s stumbled into will not only ruin lives—it will end them.

as the marriage of Queen Charlotte and King George of England leads to an unexpected love story and a union that transforms society. In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she, and her King, needed. Because George has secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.
