Barbara Cartland pure romance novels. I love reading them from time to time in Russian. 🇷🇺 This was the first novel by Barbara Cartland that I’ve read in English 🇬🇧 and I liked the book!
The Marquis Who Hated Women by Barbara Cartland. In Russian it would be called “Маркиз, который ненавидел женщин”. :)
