⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Miss Evelyn Pearce learned to be an artist at her father's knee.  Now he is gone, she and her sick little sister are in debt to a wicked money lender.  Evelyn works at a theater painting scenery but nobody will buy her art because she's a woman.  With the situation worsening she can only think of one way out.  

Casper Brook, the Duke of Rothwell has worked hard and ruthlessly to repair the family finances that his father gambled away.  He has a lot of people, family and tenants relying on him,  so he guards all he is responsible for strongly.  He does however also have a love of art, and one painting in particular.  The model in it is almost an obsession.  

This is an exciting and at times emotional historical romance.  We meet many fascinating characters that I'm sure will feature in the coming books in the series. I particularly loved our strong females.  Our author gives us a glimpse of the seedier side of London and it's inhabitants.  

A very entertaining book and I can't wait to read the next one.  

Great fun.

Emily grew up in the north of England on a diet of historical romance and classical mythology.

Unfortunately, you couldn’t study Georgian slang or the Regency London Season, so she did the next best thing and gained a degree in Classics and History instead. This ‘led’ to an eight-year stint in engineering. 
Having left city life, she now lives in a dilapidated farmhouse in the country where her days are spent writing, fixing the leaky roof, battling the endless vegetation and finding pictures of well-tied cravats.
