Gabriel's story.
Gabe is the daredevil of the Sharpe children. He was 7 when he parents died. As an adult (he would have been 19/20) he raced his best friend, Roger. Roger was in an accident that killed him. Fast forward 7 years. Gabe has carried his guilt with him. Roger's sister, Virginia, challenges Gabe to a race. Realizing she will be possibly homeless when her grandfather died and her cousin inherits, he proposes marriage. He needs to marry to inherit and she will need someplace to live. Only problem? Virginia and her grandfather (Poppy) blame him for Roger's death.
I liked how close Virginia was to her grandfather, "Poppy." Her cousin, Pierce, is also supportive- in his own way. He may have a story later. The Sharpe family is fun to read about. Their love and support of each other shines through. I liked Gabe and Virginia getting to know each other. Both are a bit unconventional and compliment each other beautifully. Hetty and Issac (Poppy) might have their own love story too.
Celia is next!
