The Duke's Portraitist

The duke, his secretary, the widowed companion and the ambitious painter… but just who is sending seemingly random strangers to the duke?

Mr James Hammond is happy to be employed by the Duke of Brinshire as his secretary, but it’s fairly dull at Staineybank, and there’s not much in the future to look forward to, and now the duke’s new heir has arrived, bringing an army of female relations to disrupt this quiet life.

Mrs Henry Hastings came to Staineybank as companion to the new heir’s wife, but now that Rowena is married and with a new baby to dote on, Georgie isn’t needed so much. She’s making herself useful helping James with his work, and finds him a sympathetic listener, but sometimes a little sympathy can have disastrous consequences.

Mr Lance Chamberlain has reached the pinnacle of his ambitions — he’s made both his fortune and his reputation as a portrait painter, and he’s betrothed to the daughter of a marquess. What more is there to aspire to? But a letter inviting him to Staineybank to paint the heir’s wife leads him into a bewildering position — he’s not expected, and although the duke is welcoming, his secretary asks rather too many questions. And perhaps his life isn’t as settled as he’d thought…
