Brushstrokes of Longing

Brushstrokes of Longing

Epub

In the glittering—but merciless—world of Regency England, Josephine Hartwell relies on her talent as a portrait painter to navigate society’s upper echelons, despite her modest origins. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she receives a rare commission from the reclusive Alexander Hawthorne, Duke of Blackbourne, a widower shrouded in whispered scandal and solemn mystery.

.

Alexander tasks Josephine with restoring a faded family portrait—and creating a new one that captures his true essence. As their private sittings stretch into shared confidences, a fragile bond forms. But while their hearts seek connection beyond titles and station, society’s rigid rules threaten to tear them apart. A duke cannot marry a commoner without consequence—and Josephine refuses to become a silent muse in anyone’s shadow.

Brushstrokes of Longing is a lush, emotional tale of art and courage, where every painted stroke becomes a declaration of love—and a defiance of centuries-old tradition. Will their love survive the light of day? Or will it forever remain a secret framed in the softest hues?
