  The Earl of Hillingwood calls his great friend, Lord Waverstone, to an urgent meeting with him at White’s Club in St. James’s for a serious discussion.  
  	The Earl is determined that his only son, Royden, is married to his friend’s daughter, Malva, as he feels that it is time Royden produced an heir to Hillingwood Towers and all its fabulous treasures and carry on as well his ancient and illustrious lineage.
  	The beautiful fair-haired Malva and Royden do not wish to marry and anyway they are definitely not in love with each other. They are both seeking an ideal love that will sweep them off their feet and they will be gloriously happy for ever.
  	To circumvent their fathers’ ambitions for them they devise an ingenious plan to pretend to their fathers that they are indeed married, but they want it kept secret until they return from their honeymoon because Queen Victoria would not approve of anyone marrying while they are still in mourning as Malva is for her mother.
  	When they do return from their honeymoon, they will then say that they have found that they are totally unsuited to each other and will divorce immediately.
  	Because both fathers would be horrified at the Social shame and scandal of the mere idea of a divorce, they will be delighted and relieved to be informed that no wedding has actually taken place. And then they will take the pressure off them and leave them alone.
  	Malva and Royden set off for their pretend honeymoon in his new yacht for West Africa telling the Captain that they are brother and sister.
  	It is when they anchor in a quiet bay off the African coast and decide to visit the Palace of the local Vizier that their adventure really begins.
  	How Malva, because of her beautiful golden hair is kidnapped by the Sultan for his harem and how she is daringly rescued by Royden.
  	And how love comes to them both in a most unexpected way is all told in this exciting tale by BARBARA CARTLAND.

  Handsome, wealthy and an accomplished rider, Trydon, Duke of Westacre is overwhelming popular with Society ladies. So much so that he’s sick to death of the constant matchmaking by his Godmother and countless Society ‘mamas’ and rides away through the night to Brighthelmstone in search of peace.
   
  What he encounters there is quite the opposite. In the foggy darkness, he stumbles across a gang of smugglers. When they mistake him for one of their own, he finds himself embroiled in their crime and is amazed to discover that their leader is a young woman!
   
  What follows is a helter-skelter adventure in which an aristocrat becomes a smuggler and strives to save his ‘Amazon’ gang leader from the blackmail that has brought her to criminality. Uncovering a French plot to assassinate the Prince Regent, he enlists the lovely Georgia, his smuggling Amazon, in a mission to expose the assassin. And amidst events fraught with danger, Trydon and Georgie’s mutual suspicion turns first to admiration, then trust and finally to a contraband kind of love.
