The Golden Hour by Beatriz Williams

In 1941, Lulu Randolph takes a position in Nassau writing a monthly column for the New York magazine, Metropolitan, focusing on the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, who have made the Bahamas their home after the Duke has been appointed the Governor by his brother, King George VI. While there, Lulu meets Benedict Thorpe and falls in love. Both Lulu and Thorpe have secrets and their lives become even more complicated when someone is murdered in Nassau. Interspersed with the story of Lulu and Thorpe is the tale of Thorpe's parents--German beauty Elfriede and British Wilfred--who met in Switzerland in 1900. The Golden Hour recounts the tales of these two love stories amid times of war and uncertainty.
