‘I’m glad they’ll be at our wedding,’ she said.

‘They’ll always be part of our lives,’ he agreed. ‘Because without them we’d never have met. Do you think your grandmother likes me?’

‘Oh, yes, I can tell from the way she’s looking at you.’

‘So can I.’

When she went to visit the other family graves he stayed behind to talk to Dee.

‘You’ve been such an influence in her life-and mine-that I want to know you better. Without you, she wouldn’t be who she is, and I wouldn’t be the happy man that I am. Thank you with all my heart.’

He stepped back.

‘I’ll see you both at the wedding tomorrow. I hope you enjoy it.’

He walked away to find the woman he adored more than life, and even now he had the sense that two pairs of eyes were following him. He smiled, happy in the knowledge, and resolved to tell Pippa all about it.

Lucy Gordon


Lucy Gordon cut her writing teeth on magazine journalism, interviewing many of the world’s most interesting men, including Warren Beatty, Charlton Heston and Roger Moore. She also camped out with lions in Africa and had many other unusual experiences, which have often provided the background for her books. Several years ago, while staying in Venice, she met a Venetian who proposed in two days. They have been married ever since. Naturally this has affected her writing, where romantic Italian men tend to feature strongly.

Two of her books have won a Romance Writers of America RITA® Award.
