title: Journey to Paradise
author: Cartland, Barbara
description: Beautiful young Kamala Lindsey knew she had to run away. Her cruel uncle, with his Victorian ideas, had threatened her life if she did not marry whom he wanted --a tired old man of sixty!
  
  And so, she did run away from her uncle's home. Riding toward the coast and intending to seek a new life of her own in France, Kamala is involved in an accident that injures a handsome stranger, she interrupts her journey to nurse him back to health. Conrad Veryan was a man desperate for riches but more desperate for love.
  
  Then, penniless, they smuggle themselves aboard a sailing schooner bound for Mexico.  It proved to be no ordinary trip. Kamala suddenly found herself caught in a dangerous web of intrigue and threatening peril, not only on the ship but also when they arrive on the other side of the ocean.
