For All Eternity

For All Eternity by Barbara Cartland is a Corgi (UK) edition and was published in 1982. The Marquis of Stowe is on the verge of a dreadful scandal and needs to marry in a hurry. He is on his way to propose to a duke's daughter when he meets Ajanta Tiverton and asks if she will consent to a pretend engagement until the talk dies down.

This book was also printed in the US, but the covers were not as pretty as the UK editions. This has the look of a Francis Marshall cover, but I am not sure if it is one of his works. We see our hero and heroine standing in a warm room looking at a small piece of jewelry that the heroine is holding. I like their regency dress and the style is very close to Marshall's eye and detail.
