White Rose of Love

~~~ first published 1963 by Mills & Boon

When Steve arrived in Portugal to stay with her brother she was not prepared to be bowled clean off her feet by the first startlingly handsome man who looked at her in disapproval because she was wearing shorts; and he was a Portuguese who liked -- and, indeed, insisted on -- his women being feminine.

Dom Manoel likened Steve to a rose. She wanted to be a red one. He preferred to wear a white one in his immaculate lapel!
