The Duchess’s Unveiled Canvas

by Raven Hart

In the glittering ballrooms of Regency England, widowed Duchess Eleanor Ashwood is a paragon of propriety—until she commissions the notorious artist Julian Vane to paint her portrait.
What begins as a daring act of rebellion against her stifling title becomes a dangerous game of seduction. Beneath the flickering candlelight of his studio, Julian’s brush strokes awaken desires Eleanor thought long buried.
Each session peels back layers of decorum, revealing her deepest secrets and his insatiable hunger. When their affair threatens to spill beyond the canvas, Eleanor must cling to her gilded cage or surrender to a scandal that could ruin her forever. The Duchess’s Unveiled Canvas is a lush, provocative tale of forbidden passion and the art of defiance.
