A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Heirs: A Regency Era Romance - Paperback

by Trisha Messmer (Author)

He agreed to save her reputation. His heart wasn't part of the bargain.

Victor Pratt may be heir to a viscountcy, but his heart belongs to canvas and color-not courtship. Dodging his mother's latest attempts to marry him off, he concocts a plan: a faux courtship with the one woman who needs his help as much as he needs a pleasant diversion.

After a humiliating debut, Juliana Merrick, half-sister to a duke, finds herself the subject of whispered ridicule. When Victor proposes his plan to restore her reputation, she reluctantly agrees-never expecting his kindness to upend both their lives.

In a gesture of friendship, Juliana arranges a commission for Victor to paint portraits of her brother's family, hoping to help him gain the recognition his talent deserves. As brush meets canvas, their sham attachment begins to feel disconcertingly real. But Victor chases a ghost from his past, leaving Juliana to grapple with falling for a man who may never love her back.
