In the darkest times, hope lights the way...

As the snow falls on Berkeley Square, the staff at the Buckingham Hotel are busy preparing for the arrival of American soldiers. 'King of the Ballroom' Raymond de Guise is rallying the performers for the forthcoming Winter Ball, with a familiar face returning to surprise the guests.

As rumours circulate that the Royal Party will be in attendance on the night, tensions begin to rise on and off the dancefloor as shocking secrets are revealed. Raymond has always been a keeper of secrets, most especially his own. Unbeknownst to his friends and family, he has returned from the frontline to the ballroom to feed information from high society to the British government...

As the festive season approaches, he is given his most dangerous assignment yet, welcoming three American officials into his home with the knowledge that one is a traitor. As the Christmas baubles glitter, he must discover who has treachery in his heart before it is too late.

Will Raymond be able to protect his home and his country? Or will this be the time he finally loses what he loves the most?

The Winter Ball is a sweeping wartime saga, filled with drama, intrigue, dance and romance from the star of Strictly Come Dancing, Anton Du Beke.
