Saving Grave by Carole Mortimer Harlequin Presents # 1543 - April 1993 Two years ago Jordan Somerville-Smythe's whole life had been shaken causing him to question his own identity. Jordan and his partner are interested in purchasing an estate in the country for conversion into a leisure center. Anyone of Jordan's assistants could have made the trip to coax the woman who owns the estate, now operating as a B & B, but Jordan feels a need to get away. And when he's greeted at the door by an elderly woman and mistakenly identified as an expected guest, Jordan doesn't correct her mistake. He's surprised to learn that the owner is not the elderly woman who opened the door, but a young redheaded beauty barely old enough to be on her own let alone raising her seven year old brother and running the massive household. Grace Brown knows immediately that Jordan is not the expected border, but she doesn't let on. There's something about this attractive man that reaches out to Grace and she has the intense urge to hug him and offer comfort. Grace knows that from that moment on her life will be forever changed. This is a lovely story of healing and the strong loyalties to family. Jordan and Grace share the early loss of their parents and the responsibilities of raising their siblings; Jordan his sister, and Grace her brother. The secondary characters are very well written and add colour and dynamics to the plot. This was a quick and very pleasant read. see the sequel ...

Ever since finding out that he wasn't the actual son of his father two years ago, Jordan Somerville-Smythe hadn't been himself, always wondering just who he really was. His sister had been after him to take some time off from the family run resort hotel and there was a guest house they'd wanted to acquire in England's Lake District, however the owner, who he has pictured as an oldster, named Grace Brown, refuses to sell, so Jordan decides to drive there and talk the old lady into selling to him. When he gets to the guest house he meets the old woman he expected and she mistakes him for someone name J. Gregory. Jordan decides not to tell her she's mistaken him for someone else. Then he finds out the woman's name is Jesse and that she's a guest at the house. Grace Brown turns out to be a beautiful twenty year old who immediately steals his heart. So Jordan moves into one of the rooms and, as he finds himself falling in love with Grace, he wonders how he can tell her who he really is. What will she think when she finds out he is half owner of the company that has been trying to buy her out? And who is the reclusive man who lives in the attic and what kind of hold does he have on Grace? There was just the right amount of romantic suspense in this one to keep me up all night. It was that man in the attic, I just had to find out what his relation to Grace was and if he was going to come between her and Jordan. I think this one is a winner. I know I really liked it.
