Ivan Everley, 13th Baron Rothvale, would admit he's the last person on earth who should have custody over a priceless collection of art. British law affords him the title of 'Lord,' but underneath all the trappings he's just a regular guy, despite being a world champion in archery, and certain...proclivities of a private nature. But Ivan’s public celebrity is merely a sham—a carefully guarded secret borne out of the pain of betrayal. Even his cousin Ethan Blackstone doesn't know the truth behind the man he considers a brother. Lord Rothvale has a plethora of problems piled up to his aristocratic eyeballs, but that doesn’t stop him from complicating his world further when a beautiful art conservationist shows up to appraise his inherited collection of paintings. Once Ivan gets a taste of Gabrielle Hargreave, mistaken identity or not, he can't think of anything but how good the green-eyed beauty felt in his arms. The chase is on, and Ivan's dominant side isn't taking 'no' for an answer—but yet, Gabrielle might just teach our discontented lord a thing or two about life, and about himself, and help them both discover the undeniable truth in what it means to find something genuinely... priceless. \*Book 1 of The Rothvale Legacy

Priceless paintings… Done in a master’s hand… Revealed two centuries after they were created… A collection of paintings are complicating Ivan Everley's life in ways he never could've imagined a few months ago. More accurately, it's the gorgeous art specialist from the University of London responsible for the "it's complicated" on his socials. But that's okay with him... Because before Gabrielle appeared at his doorstep one dark and stormy summer night? He. Never. Felt. This. Good. The fiery art historian has turned his world completely upside down, and she's done it all while capturing his wounded heart. But Gabrielle is sporting a wounded heart of her own, and she’s terrified of risking it again. Will he hurt her as others have done? Or is Ivan Everley a lot more than the aristocratic playboy he appears in the tabloids? Gabrielle will need to discover exactly who Ivan, the man, is for herself. But their future isn't set, and there is some serious trouble afoot...because Lord Rothvale's art collection presents more mysteries with every painting Gabrielle discovers tucked away inside his private sanctuary along the North Irish coast. As Gabrielle delves deeper into her work, Ivan is hoping the mystery behind his paintings takes her a very long time to solve so he can keep her tucked away inside his private sanctuary along the North Irish coast...with him, forever. Lord Rothvale has finally met his destiny. And her name is Gabrielle Hargreave. A love beyond any price… Lives intertwined over the ages… Destinies of the heart and of treasures hidden away… I’d like to have your gorgeous body tied to my bed while I f\*ck you this time. Knowing you’re going nowhere until I release you.. -IVAN EVERLEY \\This is Book 2 in a serial series. For the love of God, Read. PRICELESS. First. You have been warned.
