More Than the Moon
The image she was about to paint had to be much more than the moon. It had to mean something. It had to
breathe.
Juliet Tanglewood is as ambitious as she is captivating, an exceptional young painter whose dreams stretch far beyond Hartfield and her beloved Tanglewood Manor. When offered the chance of a lifetime to study in London with her greatest inspiration, the renowned artist Jospehine Raddington, she cannot resist.
In London, Juliet confronts a deep ache from her past—William Kingsley. Despite her efforts to diminish their youthful bond after his disappearance nearly a decade ago, its intensity now demands attention. While painting in London’s underbelly with Josephine, Juliet is welcomed into William’s world of shared secrets and peculiar characters. Through his eyes, she embraces the wonders of the city… and ignites a dormant love for William with unexpected force.
But one obstacle looms—her engagement to William’s brother, Edmund Kingsley. Petulant, obsessive, and enormously wealthy, Edmund has rescued Juliet’s family home and her dear papa from financial ruin. In return, Juliet is expected to abandon her artistic aspirations for the role of wife and mother. But she has already tasted what it is to live fully, paint uninhibited, and to fall recklessly in love.
With much more than just Tanglewood Manor hanging in the balance, can Juliet defy Edmund and choose the penniless William?
