Vanessa supposed she ought to be grateful to Don Rafael de Domerique. He had, after all, rescued her from a very unpleasant situation, and now that she was completely alone in the world he had offered her a home in his Spanish-type castle on a beautiful Caribbean island, and had invited her to act for the time being as companion and chaperone to his goddaughter Barbara. In such romantic surroundings she ought to have been completely happy-but it was not long before she realised why Barbara referred to the castillo as the Torre de la Cautiva-the Tower of the Captive-for Don Rafael had all his Castilian forebears' views on the limited amount of freedom that should be allowed to women, while Vanessa's outlook was staunchly Anglo-Saxon. Which would not have mattered so much had Vanessa soon found herself falling in love with the attractive Don.

Book Description

Vanessa supposed she ought to be grateful to Don Rafael de Domerique. He had, after all, rescued her from a very unpleasant situation, and now that she was completely alone in the world he had offered her a home in his Spanish-type castle on a beautiful Caribbean island, and had invited her to act for the time being as companion and chaperone to his goddaughter Barbara. In such romantic surroundings she ought to have been completely happy-but it was not long before she realised why Barbara referred to the castillo as the Torre de la Cautiva-the Tower of the Captive-for Don Rafael had all his Castilian forebears' views on the limited amount of freedom that should be allowed to women, while Vanessa's outlook was staunchly Anglo-Saxon. Which would not have mattered so much had Vanessa soon found herself falling in love with the attractive Don.
