12. Meet the Sun Halfway by Jane Arbor A travel-themed romance where the heroine takes a job in a sunny, exotic location (often Africa or the Mediterranean) and clashes with her new boss.

13. At First Glance by Margaret Pargeter A story of mistaken identity or a rush to judgment, where the protagonists must overcome their initial bad impressions to find love.
