Dreaming of becoming a renowned artist, Isabella pours her heart into her artwork to enter into a local contest, the winner of which will be accepted as a student of a local art master. When she encounters a mysterious gentleman searching for his late brother’s love, her heart years to help the lost soul. Helping him may mean sacrificing her dreams, and worse—falling in love with a gentleman beyond her reach. Grief-stricken over his brother’s sudden death, Rowan searches for his late brother’s long-lost love to inform her of the tragedy. However, he only has a few obscure clues as to her identity. As he and a charming, eccentric young lady begin the search, they discover an unexpected bond, the key to finding peace, which he had thought out of reach, and perhaps even a reconciliation with his estranged father. But he must choose between family honor and a young lady who has come to mean everything.
