Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

London, 1938. Kathleen 'Kick' Kennedy moves in rarefied circles, rubbing elbows with some of the 20th century's most powerful figures. Eager to escape the watchful eye of her strict mother and the antics of her older brothers, Jack and Joe, Kick is ready to strike out on her own and is soon swept off her feet by Billy Hartington, the future Duke of Devonshire. But their love is forbidden, as Kick's devout Catholic family and Billy's staunchly Protestant one would never approve their match. When war breaks, she will have to decide where her true loyalties lie - with family or with love.
