A Long Way From Home By Jane Fraser (pseud. of Rosamunde Pilcher) It was a far cry from the lonely, windswept island of Folda, in the Hebrides, and the simple life to which Katy Kelsey had been accustomed, to the luxurious surroundings of her wealthy grandfather's Mediterranean villa. As she lay, blissfully idle, on the villa's private beach, Katy felt rather like Cinderella—for only a few days ago she and her grandfather had been strangers to one another, and it was only the fact that she was now alone in the world, and destitute, that had given her the courage to seek him out and ask his help. Now he was urging her to stay with him for good, and the prospect of a life of luxury—and the constant company of her new friend Adam Maxwell, the family solicitor—was very tempting. But what was she to do about the all-important Jamie Donald?

The Golden Rose by Kathryn Blair To Gwen, the prospect of a visit to Portuguese East Africa would have been an exciting one at any time, but now she hoped, too, that it would help her to recover from an unhappy love affair. As for the motive behind her uncle's invitation, it a seemed straightforward enough one. He wanted to send his small motherless son home for an English education. True, he had hinted at opposition from his wealthy Portuguese in-laws, but surely thought Gwen, it was only a matter of putting his foot down. Not until she arrived did Gwen realize that opposition to her uncle's plans came from a different quarter - from the powerful and self-assured Duque de Condeiro, whose position as the boys godfather made him a doubly formidable opponent. But Gwen was determined to help her uncle and, incidentally, to get the better of that annoyingly imperious autocrat.
