Man of Destiny

Caroline was the governess of the young Richard de Fonteira. When it was time to meet his impressive uncle, the Marques, whom he had heard so much about and would take over the boy’s upbringing, she was nervous. Yet the Marques turned out to be quite charming. His business companion Vasco Duarte de Capuchos, on the other hand, was the infuriatingly difficult one with strong notions about children and how they were to be governed. The 20th-century story by Rose Burghley, a pseudonym of the romance writer Ida Pollock, offers a memorable love tale for the romance-hungriest of readers.

A must-read for fans of literary romance and surprising twists of fate.

Rose Burghley is a pseudonym of Ida Pollock (1908 – 2013), a highly successful British writer of over 125 romance novels translated into numerous languages and published across the world. Ida Pollock has sold millions of copies over her 90-year career. Pollock began writing when she was 10 years old. Ida has travelled widely, living in several different countries.
