Synopsis

Bold, passionate and possessive, the Cynster men let nothing stand in their way when it comes to claiming the women of their hearts.

Gerrard Debbington, Vane Cynster's brother-in-law, is one of London's most eligible gentlemen. Uninterested in marriage, his driving passion is to paint the fabled gardens of Lord Tregonning's Hellebore Hall -- an opportunity that is now at hand...if Gerrard agrees to create an honest portrait of Tregonning's daughter as well.

Gerrard chafes at wasting his talents on some simpering miss, only to discover that Jacqueline Tregonning stirs him as no other. Certainly, she is beautiful, but it is her passionate nature that strikes sparks with Gerrard's own, igniting desire and sweeping them into each other's arms, convincing Gerrard that he has found his ideal soul mate -- the lady he must have as his wife.

But something is horribly wrong at Hellebore Hall. Evil and lies are reaching out to ensnare Jacqueline -- and Gerrard will have to move Heaven and Earth to protect the remarkable woman who, for him, personifies the truth about love...

About this title

About the Author:

From AudioFile:

Laurens's popular Cynster series continues as portrait artist Gerrard Debbington agrees to paint the beautiful Jacqueline, daughter of Lord Tregonning of Hellebore Hall. Their portrait sessions are filled with hours of sweet lovemaking, and when Jacqueline is believed to have orchestrated the death of her mother, Gerrard is determined to capture her innocence in his painting. Elizabeth Sastre's sensitive narration gives credibility to the love scenes, even as she expertly varies intonation to differentiate the characters. The short intervals of classical music at the inception and conclusion of the novel are the perfect backdrop for the narrator's mastery of Laurens's prose.
