In this Regency romance by USA Today Bestselling author Charlie Lane, an ambitious lady becomes an angry artist's muse at a scandalous house party where love and art collide. When the permanently grumpy Lord Theodore Bromley attempts to complete the conditions of his father’s will, he meets a woman who infuriates him, teases him, and… tempts him. And it's his responsibility to kick her out of her house. Can Lady Cordelia, alone and desperate but always optimistic, soften his heart, or will she lose everything she’s working so hard to build—her school, her home, her dream? A bargain, a contest, a scandalous house party. Can close proximity and scalding passion teach two lonely souls to see each other in a new light, or will old wounds tear their hearts apart?
