The Stars of San Cecilio

Lisa’s magical time at Costa Brava is about to come to an end and tomorrow she must head back to London to find work. Then, as if by fate, a handsome stranger by the name of Julio Fernandez approaches her, blowing her plans apart. He offers her a job as a governess to his young daughter, and she is thrilled at the prospect of staying and getting close to this alluring man. Yet, it seems, that she is not the only woman eager to settle herself in Senor Fernandez' life and may need to fight to claim her desires. The romantic novel written under one of Ida Pollock’s pseudonyms, Susan Barrie, promises allure and seduction for readers of all tastes.

A must-read for fans of literary romance and surprising twists of fate.

Susan Barrie is a pseudonym of Ida Pollock (1908 – 2013), a highly successful British writer of over 125 romance novels translated into numerous languages and published across the world. Ida Pollock has sold millions of copies over her 90-year career.

Pollock began writing when she was 10 years old. Ida has travelled widely, living in several different countries. She continues to be popular amongst both her devoted fan base and new readers alike. Pollock has been referred to as the "world's oldest novelist" who was still active at 105 and continued writing until her death.

On the occasion of her 105th birthday, Pollock was appointed honorary vice-president of the Romantic Novelists' Association, having been one of its founding members.

Ida Pollock wrote in a wide variety of pseudonyms: Joan M. Allen, Susan Barrie, Pamela Kent, Averil Ives, Anita Charles, Barbara Rowan, Jane Beaufort, Rose Burghley, Mary Whistler and Marguerite Bell.
