She’s here! I adored writing this book, and I really hope that you enjoy reading it! Make sure to let me know what you think…
Lady Evelyn Chance, daughter of the Earl of Lindow, is too busy scandalizing the ton one portrait at a time to care about her marital prospects.
She is an artist: and like any true artist, she is determined to paint from a model…except she can hardly turn up at the Royal Academy of Art. So she does what any self-respecting aristocrat does when she needs a servant.
She advertises.
The man who answers that advertisement is tall, handsome, rough round the edges, far too perceptive, and refuses to take his clothes off. It’s not precisely what Evelyn had in mind, but she couldn’t deny he made a fascinating subject.
He is also Richard, Viscount Sempill. But Evelyn doesn’t know that.
Desperate to keep the man a blank canvas for her paintings, Richard agrees to keep everything about him a secret: his name, his title (not that she knows he has one), his wealth, everything.
Before long, late night painting leads to late night kissing, and just when Richard is ready to abandon his romantic reticence and make declarations…
Disaster happens.
This novel continues the highly anticipated Chance family drama, with sixteen cousins and triple the problems. Tropes include: secret identity, mistaken identity, bluestocking, heroine artist, only one bed, and of course, Emily E K Murdoch’s tried and true method of sizzling, joyful romance.
