Publisher's Summary

New York Times best-selling author Mary Balogh's new Wescott series continues as a young woman deals with her father's death and a reversal of fortune.

With her parents' marriage declared bigamous, Camille Westcott is now illegitimate and without a title. Looking to eschew the trappings of her old life, she leaves London to teach at the Bath orphanage where her newly discovered half sister lived. But even as she settles in, she must sit for a portrait commissioned by her grandmother and endure an artist who riles her every nerve. An art teacher at the orphanage that was once his home, Joel Cunningham has been hired to paint the portrait of the haughty new teacher. But as Camille poses for Joel, their mutual contempt soon turns to desire. And it is only the bond between them that will allow them to weather the rough storm that lies ahead.

Beautiful story about healing and transformation!

While I haven't been listening to the Westcott Series novels in order, I did listen to Book 1 (Someone to Love, Anna's story) before this one and felt distinctly underwhelmed (especially towards the end). So, it was with much delight, relief, and satisfaction that Camille's story was WAYYYYYYYYY better! Camille's transformation and journey to discovering her true self was a complete joy to go through. Her romance with Joel was sweet and confusing and sometimes even downright maddening -- but, like, in the BEST way possible. I was in tears by the end of it, and I will surely listen to this story time and time again!
