Requirements: ePUB Reader | 190 kb
Overview: Tender, Cruel, and Tarnished
When a dreadful carriage accident causes Lord William Windham to stop and assist in offering a commendatory prayer for the dying victim, he spies Arabella Chamblin peeking at him through a passing carriage window. A spark of recognition resonates in his kind heart that she is a good friend to his new sister-in-law, the Duchess of Thorton.
Second in line to the ducal estate run by his older brother Henry, William follows his mother’s stern demand that he dance with Arabella at an evening art auction soirée sponsored by the Duchess of Thornton. Arabella’s art adorns the walls as she reticently basks in the limelight as the guest of honour. After her paintings are auctioned, her most favourite painting of water lilies of Bedfordshire House was positioned to be unveiled. The art curators slowly lifted the velvet and then, with a quick flick of their wrists at the last moment, caused the whole painting to be unveiled at once. The entire crowd gasped. Arabella couldn’t believe her own eyes: it seemed like a terrible trick was being played on her. This wasn’t her painting at all — it was a painting of a nude man!
Where did this painting come from? Who substituted it for her treasured painting she worked weeks on before the showing? Someone had sabotaged her art show, merely to make malicious on dit. Arabella couldn’t think of a single enemy she had in the world: why would anyone do this to her?
Saddened to see Arabella’s reputation bruised by that scandalous painting, Lord William asks her to paint his portrait. With his high cheekbones and perfect green eyes, he sits for his commissioned portrait to be painted by the shy and charming Arabella.
Will Lord William help save Arabella’s tarnished reputation? Who was out to hurt Arabella by performing such a cruel trick? Did Lord William feel the same spark Arabella felt when he kissed her fingers after she completed the Lord’s portrait? And who was the strange man with grizzled beard who knocked on the door seeking Miss Arabella Chamblin?
