A Brush with Love: An American Historical Romance
Renae Weight Mackley

At the turn of the century, Alice Burnham says “no thank you” to the stuffy suitors Grandfather has chosen, and wants to forge her own path. Yet a loveless marriage to a man of wealth seems the best way to continue paying for her education at the prestigious San Francisco Art Institute. Grandfather has given her an ultimatum: Make a proper match on his terms by her next birthday or lose her inheritance. When Alice finds herself falling for a handsome young widower, she risks her painting career and must decide if marrying for love is too great a sacrifice.
