Description:Wiltshire, England 1845 Lady Lily Jameson is thrilled to attend a house
party given by the Daniel Farnsworth, the Duke of Lybrook, but not
because he’s the most eligible bachelor in the peerage. Her only
interest is his famous art collection, which reputedly includes a
painting by her favorite artist, Jan Vermeer. Daniel, duke only by
virtue of the untimely deaths of his father and older brother, wants
nothing to do with his new duties. He’d rather continue his rakish ways.
When he finds the lovely Lily sneaking around the property in search of
his art collection, sparks fly. Despite her father’s wishes, Lily has
no intention of marrying. She wants to travel the world to gain real
life inspiration for her painting and writing. And what could be better
worldly experience than a passionate affair with the notorious Duke of
Lybrook? But circumstances may change the game and the players…and
danger lurks, as well.
