Engaged to be married against her will, accomplished watercolorist Lady Isabelle Cameron decides to compromise herself with her childhood hero, Marcus Hawksley. The setting she chooses is an art auction featuring a valuable painting by Thomas Gainsborough. When stockbroker and art collector Hawksley is accused of stealing the work, Isabelle provides his alibi. She is instantly ruined, and they are forced to marry. Intent on finding the painting and the thief, they join forces and gradually fall in love for real. Gabrielle (Lady of Scandal, 2009) infuses her lively romance with a scintillating look at the British stock market and the life of a stockbroker during the Regency period as well as glimpses into the world of art with references to and tidbits about familiar classical paintings. Both the headstrong yet charming Lady Isabelle and debonair Hawksley will delight Regency readers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)
