Clive Gravelle is a close friend and neighbor of Graham Everley, our Lord Rothvale of 1811. He breeds racehorses and is one of the most respected horsemen in the country. But his business affairs are where his respectability ends. When he meets Cariss, Imogene's younger cousin, he is completely struck by her. His feelings are immediate, and they are powerful. But he is so much older than her, and her innocence frightens him because he thinks he is not worthy of her. Well, Cariss has a few opinions on that matter, and this is what their story is about. For those of you that have read Priceless, my contemporary Rothvale Legacy, Book 1, there is a scene at the very beginning of the book where Gaby is admiring a painting at the National Gallery... From Priceless, Chapter 1 I stopped at an equestrian portrait that I counted among my top five favorites out of all of his work. It was a happy painting, and every time I saw it I wanted to smile. Mallerton had executed it perfectly, the moment preserved in time for all to enjoy. The subject was a young bride with long dark hair seated on a magnificent pale horse adorned with garlands and ribbons and bells throughout his tack. Even though she wasn’t smiling at all like a person would today when posing for a picture, the expression of joy captured so exquisitely in her expression made you a believer. There was no doubt this girl was a happy bride. It was titled simply, Mrs. Gravelle, and always made me wonder what Mr. Gravelle was like. He’d won a beautiful bride that’s for sure, and I dearly hoped he’d loved her as he should have. ...I tried not to think about what I’d lost, but my self-imposed loneliness got the better of me sometimes, and I’d be lying if I couldn’t admit I longed for even a portion of the bliss Mrs. Gravelle had in her painting. The chances of you ever finding someone who will inspire you to look like the bride in that painting is slim to none— “I found you,” a smooth voice said behind me.
