Rose Burghley

Lacey is an English teacher at a school for young ladies . Most of the pupils have a crush on Dr Soames the school doctor who Lacey finds to be rude and put off by this much preferring Dr Heist though he no prefers to flit from lady to lady as none seem to hold his interest can Lacey do so and attract the gentleman she so desires? A rather mediocre and dated style of historical romance 2,75/5

Lacey is an English teacher at a fancy girls’ school in Switzerland. Her young pupils have something in common: all of them seem to be in love with the school doctor Roger Soames. Finding him quite rude and rather off-putting, Lacey finds herself drawn instead to the alluring Doctor Ludwig Heist. The problem is though, that he does not seem the least bit interested in Lacey. Rather, his eyes are more fixed upon one different lady after another. What can Lucy do to grab the attention of the man he so desires?

Set in beautiful Switzerland, this love story from the 20th century was written under the pseudonym Rose Burghley belonging to no other than the master of romance herself, Ida Pollock.
A great read that I was enthralled in from the very first chapter
