A Portrait of Scandal

A Portrait of Scandal

Epub

Now the Duchess of Blackbourne, Josephine Hawthorne navigates a world far more perilous than any studio—where power and perception are painted in far bolder strokes than oils and ink

Thrust into the eye of a storm after her explosive tribunal testimony—the one that exposed Viscount Carridan’s darkest secrets—she finds herself both celebrated and scrutinized. Her talent captures acclaim, but her marriage to Duke Alexander remains under relentless attack by bitter peers

Unbowed, Josephine turns scandal into art. When a mysterious letter reveals hidden sketches of her wary brother‑in‑law, she chooses to paint him with truth and compassion—again sparking controversy, this time of her own making

As political forces rally to limit her influence and threaten her future heirs, Josephine and Alexander stand together in Parliament—not as duchess and consort, but as equals in a fierce battle for their rights

Then comes a summons from the Queen: paint the Crown herself—on Josephine’s own terms. The result? A bold portrait that shocks the court, captivates the public, and secures her place in art history.

With her masterpiece, Canvas & Crown, Josephine declares her identity as artist, duchess, muse—and firebrand.



A Portrait of Scandal is a lush and enthralling tale of art, power, and transformation. Perfect for fans of historical drama, fierce heroines, and courtroom intrigue. Because love this bold never stays quiet for long.
