As Eagles Fly: Natasha Melikov was a Countess and a hostage. Kiddnapped from her home in Tzarist Russia by Moslem rebels, she and her young brother were being held captive high in the Caucasian mountains.
Overcome with fear, Natasha made an otherwise unthinkable bargain: her brother would go free and she would give herself in marriage to a rebel ally, the Sultan of Turkey.
Knowing Natasha needed an escort out of the mountains to guarantee her safe delivery to the Sultan, her captors turned to the handsome, irreproachable Lord Athelstan – already in the Caucasians on a diplomatic mission. But Athelstan refused to lend either his name or his country’s to such an unprincipled exchange.
His cool rejection of her impassioned pleas for her brother’s life was transforming the Countess’s fear into frenzied desperation…
Bride to a Brigand: Princess Ileana of Zokala was proud, headstrong, and fiercely devoted to her people. Yet the Statesmen decreed that she could never rule until she found a husband. Many had courted her for her power and her passionate beauty, but she scorned them all – until she met her match in an arrogant outlaw who held her to a shocking bargain!
The Blue Eyed Witch: There was no question that the Marquis of Aldridge had saved her life. The townspeople were convinced that she was a witch and they were dragging her to the river to administer the ultimate test. If she drowned she was innocent. If she floated she was evil. Fortunately the Marquis was able to convince the angry mob to release her. He was sure she was far too lovely, far too innocent to be a witch. And yet this raven-haired, blue-eyed beauty was casting a spell on him– bewitching him as no other woman had done before.
The Bride Runs Away: The beautiful Iona Langdale is walking in her favourite wood the day before her wedding, which is planned to be a huge Society event with marquees and fireworks and attended by her large family and all her smart friends from London.
She is musing dreamily about how happy she will be once she is married to her next door neighbour, John Moreton, whom she has known since childhood.
Beside a hut by a pool in the wood, she sees her fiancé’s horse tied up to a post and can hear voices coming from inside.
She listens without really meaning to and it is John who is speaking to the Vicar’s daughter, Mary.
He is telling her how much he loves her, but he has to go through with marrying Iona because he needs her money to repair his house and pay off his father’s debts and Iona is a millionairess.
Iona is deeply shocked and disillusioned and, despite her wedding happening tomorrow, she decides to run away as she cannot marry John after hearing that he is so desperately in love with Mary.
She sets off not knowing where she should go and after a number of adventures she unexpectedly becomes the cook at the magnificent house of the Earl of Woodbridge.
The few servants in his house are frightened of him because of his bad temper which is caused by the fact that he has spent several years looking for his family’s treasure hidden by his miserly uncle before he died, but to no avail.
The Earl has spent all his money in searching for the elusive treasure and now he cannot even afford to pay his servants.
How Iona cooks superb dishes for the Earl, how she saves his life and how she finds the real love she is seeking is all told in this fascinating story by BARBARA CARTLAND.
