The Enchanting Evil by Barbara Cartland Vintage Romance Book 1960's 1st Edition Thus

Kitty's Notes:

Barbara Cartland's genius was fun and frothy romance set in various historical eras, her contemporary (20th century) romantic novels were generally written under her alternative name Barbara McCorquodale.

This is a Barbara Cartland classic romance novel, slightly more gothic than some of her other romantic books it has a slightly sinister main character in the slightly debauched Marquis, but it is still overall a simplistic romp through the trials and tribulations of true love - historical romance book style - that always ends happily. This is a clean romance novel and an innocent read. Great fun for fans of her rose-tinted romance genre.

Book Excerpt from "The Enchanting Evil":

" Sir Hector Stanyon commands Melinda, his niece and the poor relation in his house to marry an elderly suitor and when she refuses he tries to beat her into submission. That night Melinda creeps out of the house and escapes to London in search of work.

It is 1856 and the recently opened railway line is blocked for five house so Melinda only arrives at Euston in the evening. Frightened and not knowing where to go, she is grateful to a middle-aged lady who offers her accommodation for the night.

In the morning Melinda thinks there was laudanum in the milk the kind lady gave her and she is also perturbed by the appearance of the other occupants of the house. But the lady offers her the amazing opportunity of making five hundred guineas, for this she must go through a pretence marriage with the notorious Marquis de Chard..."
