Aloha to Grace Burrowes and LADY JENNY'S CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT

Lady Jenny's Christmas Portrait

We received our last shipment from storage - the precious treasures that my in laws kept during our Hawaiian assignment. It was like Christmas, unwrapping a cache that I hadn't seen for four years, including a charcoal painting my mother had drawn of Cathedral Close in Exeter.  She once dreamed of being an artist, but did not have the opportunity to pursue that dream. My mother could be heroine in Grace Burrowes' latest release, LADY JENNY'S CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT:

What Lady Jenny wants for Christmas...

For Christmas, soft-spoken Lady Jenny Windham craves the freedom to pursue her artistic ambitions, though it will mean scandalizing her ducal parents and abandoning all hope of a family of her own. She confides her plans to successful artist Elijah Harrison when he's commissioned to paint a portrait of her small nephews, because assisting Elijah will bring Jenny that much closer to her heart's desire—won't it?

...Will break both their hearts.

Elijah Harrison finds in his unlikely assistant not only an inspiring muse and unappreciated talent, but also a lovely and passionate woman. If Elijah supports Jenny's career, his own professional interests will suffer, but more significantly, he will lose Jenny forever. Both Jenny and Elijah must choose between true love and a lifelong dream.
