Item description from seller

Hardcover. The Enchanting Evil 1968, The Unknown Heart 1969, The Reluctant Bride 1970, The Secret Fear 1970, The Audacious Adventuress 1971, Lost Enchantment 1972 & The Wicked Marquis 1973. All are Near Fine some with just a few minor faults but no ownership inscriptions. All Dust Jackets are also Near Fine - again some with a few minor faults but none are price clipped (prices vary from 25s to £2.20). All are 1st UK Editions, 1st Printings. All are dedicated and signed with some variations "To Philip with love and grateful thanks from Barbara Cartland" on the front end paper. The dedications are almost certainly to Philip Inman, 1st Baron Inman, who was the Chairman of Hutchinson at the height of Cartland's career. Inman took control of the Hutchinson publishing house when Cartland was dictating up to twenty books a year, making her a vital commercial asset to his firm and putting them in close, continuous professional contact. Beyond publishing, Inman was highly active in high society and famously served as the Chairman of Charing Cross Hospital. Cartland frequented the same aristocratic and philanthropic circles.
