Love by Moonlight

The beautiful Konstantina Millbank has become an orphan after her adored parents have both suddenly died.
In the autumn of 1892 she finds herself in a country East of the Danube en route to live with her recently appointed Guardian, the shadowy Countess Mordhile Megherny.
Konstantina knows nothing of her Guardian except that she is a recluse who lives at Megherny Castle — the Castle where Konstantina’s own mother grew up, loveless and lonely.
Much time has elapsed since then, but the past and its passions are far from dead.
Encountering the brooding and handsome Prince Gregor Razghadi, Konstantina finds herself enmeshed in a disturbing story of love and betrayal.
Between the enchanting moments she comes to spend with the Prince by moonlight and the bewildering life she leads at Megherny Castle with only her Guardian, the unappealing Baron Schenck and the mysterious Madame Zand for company, she is forced to confront the workings of her own heart.
Her trust is shattered when Konstantina suspects that Prince Gregor is not, and never will be, free to love.
Meanwhile, the Countess Mordhile has her own reasons for keeping her young and vulnerable Ward under her strict control.
How the web of conflicting intrigue surrounding Konstantina eventually unravels.
How she tries to escape from her Guardian and Megherny Castle as well as her own heart.
And how she finds out that her prayers are answered and that love can be hers, despite so much turmoil, is all told in this exciting romantic story by BARBARA CARTLAND.

    “if you take the carriage round to the stables, you will find food and water for your horse.” - poor horse struggling against the weather 😭

    As she did so, a shaft of bright moonlight streamed in through the long window, which was unshuttered. Prince Gregor drew in his breath. - dramatic lol...

    She must not dream of those lips meeting hers, for she knew that they were cold lips and his heart cold too. - unusual statement for a BC novel. The crush presented almost immediately.

    Boars’ heads leered from the walls, stuffed birds stared out from glass cases, bearskins adorned the floors and marble busts of long-dead ancestors were everywhere. - despicable room full of dead creatures 💔

    She swallowed, as feelings surged in her that she dared not put a name to. - it's called a "crush" darling girl...

    Prince Gregor dismounted, drew Konstantina down and then tied the mare to the rail of the pavilion. “I hope it’s merely a hailstorm,” he said. “If so, it will pass quickly.” So the horse is tied down and cannot seek shelter from the hailstorm. That's disgusting!

    She reached up and placed a hand on the back of the Prince’s neck, willing him to remain locked with her in this paradise. - one usually never hears of the female lead being so ardent with her feelings this early on.

    “She don’t care for that donkey!” - donkeys are wonderful, smart creatures. They do not deserve this ugly reputation nor miserable life they're forced to endure.

    ““Moonlight is always considered a magical backdrop for romance and there is no doubt that a woman can look alluring, mysterious and enticing by moonlight. But be careful you can lose your heart by moonlight too!”

    These chambers were if anything even more gothic and sombre than the rest of The Castle.

    and turn in the moonlight streaming in through our bedroom window.”

    Konstantina shivered with pleasure
