A Very Private Love — Melinda Cross

No doubt about it, he was really the one

All her life Valerie had believed, without question, that when she finally met the man she was destined to love, she would know it in an instant. And she did.

It hit her like a thunderbolt when she happened upon Charles Rissom, a reclusive American entrepreneur, disguised as a buyer at the Egyptian Arabian horse show in Kentucky.

The odds were stacked against her. If she were to tell Charles who she really was, she risked losing more than the story of the century -- she risked losing her lifelong dream for love.

Hero: Charles Rissom
Heroine: Valerie Tupper
