Elise Atkinson once had everything, until she was cast into London's streets with nothing but her artistic talent. Now she survives by creating masterful forgeries, using her ill-gotten gains to save desperate families and feed orphaned children who remind her of the girl she once was.

Jonathan Whitfield, the impoverished Earl of Rosse, has been hired to unmask the forger deceiving London's elite collectors. His investigation leads him to a captivating painter whose landscapes hold secrets and whose eyes haunt his dreams. Drawn to her against his better judgment, he commissions a portrait from the very woman he is meant to expose.

Their stolen moments in the studio burn with forbidden tension.
But when a feverish child's life hangs in the balance, Elise must choose between her promise and her moral duty. And when Jonathan discovers the truth, he faces an impossible choice: fulfill his duty and destroy the woman he loves, or sacrifice everything. His commission, his reputation, perhaps even his life, to protect her.

As their forbidden attraction ignites into passion, a more sinister threat emerges. A rival investigator, that has a secret, is hunting Elise.

In a world where honor demands sacrifice and love requires courage, two wounded souls must decide: Can redemption be found in each other's arms, or will the secrets between them prove their ultimate undoing?

A clean Regency romance of art, deception, and the courage to love when everything is at stake.
