Ever Enchanting (Ever Regency #2)
Denise E. Templey

Love is just a paint stroke away
Miss Celia Thorpe longs to be loved. Her goal is not to find just any husband, using her feminine wit and wiles. If she cannot pick a husband who would love and cherish her, she would do without one and pick up something that fills her with joy…her paint brush. It is this painting that is now threatening to make her a social outcast.
Lord Alan Crossfield, even though valuing his freedom, offers for her hand in marriage, hoping to redeem her good name. He is dismayed that a marriage of convenience is not what the fair Miss Thorpe desires.
