The Sun In Splendour
by Anne Weale (1975)
About this book
Ros's talents as a cook had got her several interesting jobs, but none more fascinating than the one Richard Livingstone was offering her - as cook aboard his luxury yacht sailing around the Spanish coast. It would help to solve her more personal problem, that of educating her young orphaned nephew, Christopher. But her enigmatical new employer seemed likely to post problems of a different kind. He was rich, charming and good-looking - but was it any use Ros being attracted to him? Was he any more likely to be seriously interested in her than the more lightweight but equally charming Jaime Hatfield? Shouldn't she just concentrate on her job?

Valley of the Tall Chimneys
(by) Joanne Marshall
Sophie Madern, a successful freelance model, is invited to work with Ferdy Latour, her former employer and owner of a famous fashion house. She takes her brother, Paul, a diplomat, to the salon, where he sees and is attracted to Riba, a lovely but mercenary mannequin. The commercial photographs for Latour are taken by Jude Sagar, a man Sophie once loved but hoped she had forgotten. Sophie accepts a modelling assignment and travels to Istanbul, where, unexpectedly, she again meets Jude Sagar. And later, in Ankara, Paul Riba, Ferdy and the mysterious Mrs Demestre. A sequence of discomfiting and unexplained events culminate in Jude's invitation to Sophie to accompany him on a photographic expedition to the petrified, eerily beautiful, Goreme Valley. Here Sophie learns the truth and finds the valley's apparent tranquillity conceals fear, treachery and danger.
The strolling players
Alice Dwyer-Joyce
From the cover: Let us join for a time a company of strolling players, and with them become enchanted with the world of make-believe in the isolated communities of the Highlands of Scotland. To this magical land comes Jonathan Harley, the famous actor, already very nearly spoiled by the applause of adoring audiences. Jonathan had the good fortune to fall into the company [of players who will teach him humility and his place in the world.] The lights dim; the prompter is in his corner and the curtain is about to go up.
