Sweet Barbary

Catherine should have known better when she met the exciting David Barrington that he was trouble. He was handsome and rich and made her visit to Morocco all the more thrilling. Yet he had a terrible reputation with women and was far from Catherine’s type. Can she resist him, despite it all, especially in such a romantic setting? The 20th-century love tale was written by Pamela Kent, a pseudonym of English romance writer Ida Pollock.

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

Pamela Kent 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.
