Summary

When spirited former teacher Olivia Reed accepts a live-in nanny position for Windmere Shores’ most elusive billionaire, she’s prepared for rules, routines, and rigid schedules—not a broken-hearted man hiding behind walls of wealth and guilt. Ethan Calloway isn’t looking for redemption. He’s only trying to protect his niece—and his heart—from more loss.
 
But Olivia’s warmth soon melts the ice around Ethan’s life, and his guarded existence begins to crack open in ways he never saw coming. As laughter returns to the halls and stolen glances turn into lingering touches, the line between professional and personal blurs dangerously.
 
Ethan knows risking a scandal could cost him everything he’s built. Olivia knows loving a man afraid to love could shatter her all over again.
 
When fear and loyalty collide, will they walk away—or will they dare to fight for the future they both secretly dream of?
 
Sometimes the safest choice isn’t the one behind locked doors... it’s the one where you open your heart and leap.

    The Adventurer is a Barbara Cartland novel like no other. Set before, during and after World War One, this is not the story of a King, a Lord or a dashing battlefield hero: Frank Swinton is quite the opposite. He is an adventurer: a man determined to raise himself above the drudgery of a
     
    nine-to-five job. Tall, dark and attractive, if not exactly handsome, he uses his charms to swindle lonely ladies out of their money. That is until he’s trapped by his own weakness and greed in a loveless marriage–and hates himself as much as his obsessive and embittered bride. Eventually he manages to unshackle himself, flee overseas and find the courage to fight for his country–but will he ever escape and rediscover his long-lost soul and the love his greed allowed him to leave behind? All is told in this moving story about a man’s search for redemption and that in the end, love is enough.
