The Duke of Lavenham learns from a letter that the beautiful Lady Penelope who he finds fun and amusing, is telling her friends that she is going to marry him.The Duke is horrified as he has no intention of marrying anyone for many years to come and he hurries to visit Penelope to discuss the matter with her and tell her that he has no intention of marrying anybody.As he is leaving the house, a young girl sobbing hysterically jumps into his carriage and begs him to take her away.The girl, Devinia, who is a cousin of Penelope’s, tells the Duke that Penelope has had her dog killed and she wants to die too. She is terribly unhappy and he thinks that she has been very badly treated by Penelope and her family.The Duke takes her to his Castle in the country and it is then that he has the idea that, if he and Devinia pretend to become engaged to each other, Penelope’s father cannot accuse him of breach of promise. But the Duke is quite certain if Penelope has told so many people of their intended marriage that her father will consider that he has damaged her reputation and will insist on him marrying her.All this could be prevented if Devinia would become engaged to him and they could break it off as soon as it is safe to do so.Devinia is very happy at the Duke’s Castle in the country and loves riding his horses.How Penelope’s revenge on him is to have her kidnapped by a foreign nation and carried away to become the concubine to a ruler of their country.And how the Duke desperately sets out to find her, is told in this exciting and romantic novel by BARBARA CARTLAND.

    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.

    Her so-called parents favored the fake.
     
    Her biological brother, Kael, lied in court to send her to prison—just to protect the imposter.

    To protect Scarlett, they framed Riley for a crime she didn’t commit.
     
    They sent her to prison.
