The Love Light of Apollo

The Love Light of Apollo was published by Mandarin UK as a paperback in 1996. This book was not published in the US. Queen Victoria is trying to separate Princess Marigold from her suitor by sending her away to Athens to attend a state funeral as her representative. She decides to play a trick on the Queen by asking a friend, Avila, who could be her double, to attend in her place while she marries her suitor privately! Aliva, who has always wanted to visit Greece, agrees and finds a wonderful adventure there!

This cover is interesting because it looks as if our couple have discovered a rare statue in a cave. Our heroine is not dressed for excavating and looks lovely in her light blue day gown. I think it's a pretty cover.
