Publisher's summary

Francis, the Marquis of Wimborton needed an heiress. Lexia had money and her father wanted her to marry a Lord. But she was a spirited girl, raised in America and she wanted to choose her own husband. The Marquis was too proud to court her, especially as he believed her heart was given to Wayne Freeman, an American that her father had brought her to England to avoid. They unexpectedly became the best of friends, escaping together from family pressures and boarding a cruise liner in search of their dreams.

Along the way they both found themselves pursued, rousing jealousy in each other. Then Wayne Freeman turned up and life became even more complicated. At last their ship reached Greece where Lexia could invoke Eros and Aphrodite, the Gods of love. For now she had made her choice and was determined to have the man she loved. But which one was it? How she decided and how they both won the love they sought is told in this romantic novel by BARBARA CARTLAND.

Barbara Cartland was the world's most prolific novelist who wrote an amazing 723 books in her lifetime, of which no less than 644 were romantic novels with worldwide sales of over 1 billion copies and her books were translated into 36 different languages. As well as romantic novels, she wrote historical biographies, 6 autobiographies, theatrical plays and books of advice on life, love, vitamins and cookery. She wrote her first book at the age of 21 and it was called "Jigsaw".

It became an immediate bestseller and sold 100,000 copies in hardback in England and all over Europe in translation. Between the ages of 77 and 97 she increased her output and wrote an incredible 400 romances as the demand for her romances was so strong all over the world. She wrote her last book at the age of 97 and it was entitled perhaps prophetically "The Way to Heaven". Her books have always been immensely popular in the United States where in 1976 her current books were at numbers 1 & 2 in the B. Dalton bestsellers list, a feat never achieved before or since by any author.

Barbara Cartland became a legend in her own lifetime and will be best remembered for her wonderful romantic novels so loved by her millions of readers throughout the world, who have always collected her books to read again and again, especially when they feel miserable or depressed. Her books will always be treasured for their moral message, her pure and innocent heroines, her handsome and dashing heroes, her blissful happy endings and above all for her belief that the power of love is more important than anything else in everyone's life.

Narration is Terrible!

Whoever edited this audible book did a terrible job. The chapters run together like a run-on sentence. Therebare no pauses between sentences or punctuations, commas are not utilized, snd the ending is completely cut off. It seems like some of the chapters are cut off too. I kept rewinding backwards because I thought I had accidently bumped the fast forward. it was not me. I got this book on sale for $3 and even on sale, I paid too much. Very disappointing.
