The Portrait of the Devil of St. James

A scarred marquess with a reputation to match attempts to commission a portrait so frightening it'll scare away an unwanted bride—until an utterly mysterious woman arrives with three unusual conditions and turns his carefully calculated plan completely upside down. What starts as a business arrangement in a private atelier becomes something far more electric and unexpected, filled with witty banter, sizzling tension, and the kind of chemistry that makes you believe in second chances. This delightful Regency romp proves that sometimes the scariest thing isn't a face marked by war, but the vulnerability of letting someone truly see you. Prepare for swoon-worthy moments, laugh-out-loud humor, and a devilish hero who's about to meet his match.
