About Catalan Christmas

She'd been a fool to accept his proposal! Accompanying Diego Montfalco and his young daughter to his village-restoration project in Spain was a job that appealed to Lucinda Radstone. She'd grown fond of his little girl, and she loved Spain, the country where she'd been raised. But unfortunately, she'd lost her heart to her aristocratic employer, and she knew she was going to get hurt. He was still in love with his deceased wife, and saw Lucinda only as an amiable and perhaps decorative companion. Worse, she had a secret that, if he knew it, would cause an impassable, permanent breach.... Her mother, an infamous well known feminist, was hero worshipped by Diego's dead wife, to the point that she left her husband and child, to follow a life according to Lucinda's mother's feminist dictates - and her daughter, left in the care of indifferent child minders, was badly burned in a bathtub incident. To complicate matters, Lucinda's mother has never revealed who Lucinda's father is and at some point in the story, Lucinda meets him....
