London, 1944. Two young nurses meet at a train station with a common purpose: to join the war effort. Scarlet longs for the chance to find her missing fiancé, Thomas, and to prove to her family - and to herself - that she's stronger than everybody thinks. Nursing is in Ellie's blood, but her humble background is vastly different from Scarlet's privileged upbringing. Though Ellie puts on a brave face, she's just as nervous as Scarlet about what awaits them in France.

As their beloved 'Crawfie', she is instantly confided in, trusted and immersed in the lives of the royal family.

Now heiress presumptive to the British throne, no one believes that Prince Philip of Greece is a suitable husband for the future queen of England. No one, that is, except for Crawfie.
