The Silver Slave

de Violet Winspear

Rosary was looking forward immensely to working on the love Portuguese island of Vozes do Mar, as tutor to young Gisela Ardo, and she was confident that she would be able to do it well. But Gisela’s father, the imposing Dom Duarte de Montqueriro Ardo, though otherwise. Rosary was far too young and inexperienced, he decreed. With her qualifications, he had expected a middle-aged woman… The battle of wills that sprang up between Rosary and Dom Duarte was not helped by the fact that from the first she could not deny his attraction; but he was a Portuguese aristocrat, to whom women were little better than slaves. She ought to be able to hold her own against his dominating ways.
