Just Published--Midnight in the Garden with Eros


Midnight in the Garden with Eros

A Seductive Regency Romance

 

An eagle-eyed artist with a checkered past, a bored country Miss, a cat called Artemis, caverns, and a ‘Greeks and Romans’ costume ball.

From humble beginnings to the height of fame, talented painter and sculptor John Ivers Mason is the toast of London. Tall, lean, handsome, and in possession of a pair of startling pale blue eyes and jet black hair, he is sought after not only for his skill and artistry, but his incredibly striking good looks.

But John’s lowly Newcastle background has made him cautious. While he is invited to many ton events as a celebrated artist, he is not truly a part of that world. Until he unexpectedly falls in love with a young woman who is.

Asked by her father to paint the fiery Miss Diana Wilmington at their country estate, he agrees—on one condition—that he be allowed to paint her for his own gallery too.

Diana is no typical member of the beau monde. She is feisty, stubborn, opinionated and definitely no shrinking violet. Almost perfect for him in fact. Except that he swore he would never marry.

But rules are made to be broken. Aren’t they?

 

Assuming she is alone in the garden, Miss Diana Wilmington is quite annoyed when in a rare whimsical moment she beseeches the newly arrived statue of Eros for a love match, and is overheard by none other than the statue’s amused sculptor himself. John Ivers Mason. The man is infuriating. But intriguing.

Although she is not usually of a whimsical mindset, Diana’s sister and several of her friends have recently married and she is feeling a little left out. Her father is not a fan of going to Town, and prefers to invite Town to him by creating his own entertainments at Wilmington Hall. And while she has no intention of succumbing to ‘wedded bliss’ with one of the stuffy, boring London fops who so often frequent their house parties, she doesn’t want to become an aging spinster aunt someday either!

But now the infuriating artist will be staying to paint her. And there is so much more to the talented artist than meets the eye.
