About this ebook

Years ago, Christina Blackburn posed for a scandalous painting that rocked the Victorian art world--and nearly ruined her life. Now a proper antiquarian for the National Museum, Christina hides her smoldering beauty behind an icy façade and prim spectacles. When the museum sends Christina to examine an ancient Highland treasure, she comes face-to-face with the same notorious painting--and its dangerously handsome owner.

Sir Aedan MacBride knows that a local legend of a sleeping maiden says the estate’s heir must never fall in love, which suits him fine--until he meets Christina Blackburn. Convinced that the painting's beautiful model is the key to saving his threatened lands, he is desperate to discover what she knows about the old legend--yet he never expects love to interfere.

Ratings and reviews

His love came back to him. This is a tale center around a painting and a fairytale. The paint is of a young maiden and for the widow of the artist it holds bad memories it was a painting that should never had been sold. The fairytale was about a Druid warrior and his lovely lady who is wasting away and he could not let her go. This was a magical story where the fairytale blended into the lives of the characters. I will admit right from the first introduction of the character I knew who the bad guy was but I was still completely engaged in the book. I loved the flow and detail in this work the author did a splendid job. I highly recommend this book. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery and voluntarily chose to review it.

Enjoyed the story but it was a bit stiff.
