The Garden of Don José

When Lois Tarrant, who worked as a model for a London designer, flew to Madrid to deliver an item to a Spanish bride, her trip turned out to be much longer than anticipated. The postponement of the wedding meant that suddenly Lois was traveling to Andalusia and facing new adventures with the bride. It was not at all a bad way to spend her days, if only it weren’t for the girl’s terribly arrogant guardian Don José Farrara de Martinez y Arova, although there was also something intriguing about him... The 20th-century story by Rose Burghley, a pseudonym of the romance writer Ida Pollock, offers a memorable love tale set in romantic Spain.

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.
