Miss Georgiana Harrington is a shy, gifted painter who prefers spending her time behind the easel rather than looking for a husband. Yet, her quiet world is turned upside down when she begins receiving letters from a mysterious admirer. Though she has no idea who he truly is, no other suitor stirs her heart quite like the man behind the ink.

Lord Benedict Montague never meant to fall for his best friend’s charming sister. When he began writing her secret letters, he only wanted to encourage her talent. However, as his feelings grow, he becomes trapped in his lie, especially as Georgiana suspects another admirer. How can he tell her the truth when he knows she will never forgive him for lying to her?

As their secret letters weave a shelter for their blossoming romance, illness strikes Benedict’s family. Faced with what truly matters, and moved by Georgiana’s kindness and strength, he realises the truth must come to light before it is too late. Will confessions cost them everything, or will their newfound love survive the storm?

"An Artist's Secret Earl" is a historical romance novel of approximately 80,000 words. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
