Moonlight Over Mayfair: The uplifting and charming Sunday Times Bestseller from Anton Du Beke

Description

With a new King on the throne tensions are rising in London and across Europe. Not yet recovered from the Great Depression there's talk of another war coming. Demonstrator dancer Raymond de Guise must hide his own views and put on a show for the rich and powerful guests of the Buckingham. But a lot can happen on the dancefloor - whispered conversations, secret relationships, clandestine messages passed - and Raymond soon finds himself in a position of both power and danger. Raymond knows that keeping his budding relationship with chambermaid Nancy secret is now more important than ever. Nancy is finally feeling settled and at home in the Buckingham but has dreams of achieving so much more. What is she willing to risk to realise her dreams?

Anton Du Beke is one of the most instantly recognisable dancers today, best known for his role on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, which he has featured on since its conception in 2004. His debut album reached the Top 20, and his sell-out Dance Tour is in its eleventh year. A household name and all-round entertainer, known as Mr Debonair, Anton brings all the wit, charm and style he's famous for to his second novel, the follow up to his Sunday Times bestseller One Enchanted Evening.

Downton with dance, perfect! * Santa Montefiore, on One Enchanted Evening * A rollicking good read, the work of a gifted storyteller * Daily Mail, on One Enchanted Evening * Du Beke's on-screen persona of witty charm is evident in his writing, and he is obviously comfortable portraying the disciplined and splendid world of the ballroom through his fiction. Fans of his dancing and of his words will relish another chance to enter the rarefied word of Mayfair in the Twenties and Thirties. This novel would be a welcome early Christmas present for his legions of fans * The Lady *
