INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS: In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy. Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East. Though she disliked the surgeon in charge, Margaret Hay reluctantly agreed to nurse a private patient in Spain instead of holidaying there as she'd planned. She'd have been even more reluctant had she guessed the intrigue that lay ahead!
