Sweet Adventure — Barbara Cartland

MASQUERADE IN MADRID

With her dying breath Ventura's mother had said, "Go to Madrid," and Ventura knew that, somehow, her destiny lay in that city. She dared to travel as page to the English Lord Lynke who was on his way to an arranged marriage with Dona, one of the richest women in Spain.

Lord Lynke himself was fooled by the masquerade until a midnight attempt on Ventura's life drove her into his arms for protection. Her masquerade was over. If she were ever to reveal her growing love for him, she must learn the secret of her birth--the secret that lay somewhere in the Spanish capital.
