They Ran Away

They Ran Away is #149 in the Pink Collection by Barbara Cartland. Published in February 2017, it's one of the final titles in this series that should contain 160 books.

Alvina, whose father is arranging her marriage to a newcomer in their neighborhood, decides to stow away on a yacht that is traveling to France to stay with a friend. However, the owner, the Earl of Penwood, is also being forced to marry and they decide to join forces until she is kidnapped in this exciting novel!

An interesting observation is that this heroine looks a lot like Princess Diana, even though the original book was published way before her engagement and wedding to Prince Charles.
