Her friend is a dress designer for society and she allows Davina to borrow a costume in order to go to the Royal Costume Ball next door. While there, she discovers a plot against the Duke of Norminster!

This is a pretty cover of our heroine in costume as the Queen of the Fairies. Our hero, dressed as a Georgian elegant, is enamored with her! I like the fact that she actually looks like an enchanted beauty!

They are on his yacht traveling to Bahrain in search of pearls! The Marquis is cold to his child and Norita endeavors to correct their relationship while protecting the child from the ladies on board!

This is a nice cover picture of our couple and the hero's little daughter. We see them looking at the ships that harvest the pearls and maybe they are at the dock to purchase some! Our heroine is pretty in pink with a large sunshade while the child is dressed in miniature! The hero is in clothing suitable for the heat. You can almost smell the sea air!

Solita arrives at her guardian's castle to find out that he has forgotten he had a ward and that a wily Russian princess who is out to entrap him! How she manages to save him and they end up in India is the plot of this interesting romance.

Our couple stand in the bright sunlight of India after taking a ride. The yellow cover emphasizes the heat and light. Our heroine is lovely in a ribbon and ruffled dress of the 1880's. The servant in the background is almost redundant.

The Passionate Princess

The Passionate Princess is #70 in the Camfield series and was published in June 1989. Princess Thea flees an arranged marriage to a neighboring monarch and meets Nikos, an attractive artist. She is intrigued by him but realizes that she can't marry him until they meet up with an adventure among the gypsies!

We see our couple meeting in the cover of this book. Our heroine has left her horse and is looking at the picture that the artist hero is creating. Her green riding habit blends into the woods and water. It's a peaceful and bright cover.

Valessa Chester, agrees to play a prank on the Marquis of Wyndonbury in exchange for money when it all goes wrong and she finds herself married to him! This is an interesting cover of our couple. They look as if they're in a foreign place, even though we see the Union Jack flying! Our heroine sits primly in a carriage while the hero gazes at her. Her dress has a Victorian look while the hero is mainly in Regency garb. Note the palm trees in the background!

I like this cover because we have a rarity: a brunette heroine! It's so rare to see them on Barbara Cartland's covers! Our couple are at a reception with the emperor Napoleon. The drawing room is very ornately decorated and the guests are dressed finely. It's an interesting cover and would make me want to read the story.

This is a simple, but beautiful cover done by an unknown artist. We see our couple standing near their camp by an oasis. The sun and sand look hot, but they are in the shade of a tree. I like their expressions as they gaze upon one another and the heroine's beautiful robes.
