The Stars of San Cecilio — Susan Barrie

It was Elizabeth Waring's last night on the Costa Brava. The place was beautiful and romantic, and her holiday had been pleasant, but... nothing special had happened, and tomorrow she must go back to London and look for work. And then the miracle took place, and the man of her dreams spoke to her. Actually, he was Senor Julio Fernandez, and he offered her a job as governess to his small daughter.

Working in Spain would be better than returning to London. At least that's what Lisa thought, but even a Spanish paradise contained a serpent. For Dona Beatriz de Camponelli made it very clear to Lisa that she intended to be the second Mrs. of Julio Fernandez. Accepting a English governess was one thing; but accepting a second Senora was another!
