The Peril and the Prince

by Barbara Cartland

Year 1887. Vida Anstruther knows there is no other way. Her father, the Crown's most brilliant diplomat, has disappeared in Hungary, and his sudden silence has become ominous. When official channels prove helpless, it is up to the brave young beauty to discover her father's fate. But her disguise-as a wordly widow-works all too well on the dangerously handsome and mysterious Prince Ivan Pavolivski. Can Vida trust her liberty and her father's life to the man who had captured her heart?
