Aprašymas

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 around the edges, and far too perceptive. Despite what the job entails, he refuses to take his clothes off. It's not precisely what Evelyn had in mind, but she can't deny he makes a fascinating subject.

He is also Richard Sempill, Viscount Sempill. But Evelyn doesn't know that.

As the beautiful, genteel artist with whom he thought to amuse himself is desperate to keep her model a blank canvas for her paintings, Richard agrees to keep everything about himself a secret from her: his name, his title, 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, artist heroine, only one bed, and of course, Emily E K Murdoch's tried and true method of sizzling, joyful romance.
