Gerrard Debbington is ruing the day he allowed his sister to exhibit his portrait of his nephews. Since then he's received many requests for his services, none as strange as the one from Lord Tregonning. Tregonning has a garden Gerrard has always wanted to see and paint, his price is a portrait of his daughter, Jacqueline, a portrait that could prove or disprove her innocence. She is accused of murder and rumour has her guilty.

It's a fun read, light and fluffy but fun. Gerrard and Jacqueline are great characters and their love for each other is obvious and touching. I guessed most of the plot moments from quite early on but the path is good, a little slow occasionally but good. ( )

Gerrard Debbington, Vane Cynster's brother-in-law, agrees to paint a portrait of Jacqueline Tregonnig only so that he will be able to paint the family's fabled gardens. As only a Cynster man can, he finds a damsel in distress who captures his heart. Just slightly lacking. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060505761, Mass Market Paperback)

Bold, passionate and possessive, the Cynster men let nothing stand in their way when it comes to claiming the women of their hearts.

Gerrard Debbington, Vane Cynster's brother-in-law, is one of London's most eligible gentlemen. Uninterested in marriage, his driving passion is to paint the fabled gardens of Lord Tregonning's Hellebore Hall -- an opportunity that is now at hand...if Gerrard agrees to create an honest portrait of Tregonning's daughter as well.

Gerrard chafes at wasting his talents on some simpering miss, only to discover that Jacqueline Tregonning stirs him as no other. Certainly, she is beautiful, but it is her passionate nature that strikes sparks with Gerrard's own, igniting desire and sweeping them into each other's arms, convincing Gerrard that he has found his ideal soul mate -- the lady he must have as his wife.

But something is horribly wrong at Hellebore Hall. Evil and lies are reaching out to ensnare Jacqueline -- and Gerrard will have to move Heaven and Earth to protect the remarkable woman who, for him, personifies the truth about love...
