The Keys of the Castle

Judith was still battling a cold when her friend Ann took her to recover at her godmother’s a glorious castle on the Northumbrian coast. What seemed like the perfect getaway for recovery was made less welcoming by the cold shoulder given by Lady Markham’s grandson, Sir Anthony Dmitri Markham. Yet there was also something terribly intriguing about this cold, handsome man of Russian origin… The memorable love tale written by Barbara Rowan, a pseudonym of Ida Pollock, dates back to the 20th century.

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