The Artist's Christmas Portrait
(2025)(The second book in the American Heiresses Christmas Collection series)
A Story by Violet Sinclair
She's secretly the most scandalous author in London. He's the artist who's been illustrating her novels. What happens when he discovers the truth?
Lady Sophia Sterling has a secret—she's Lady Midnight, the mysterious Gothic novelist whose passionate stories have scandalized London society. When American artist Jacob Livingston arrives at Rothbury Abbey to paint portraits for Christmas, she must guard her identity at all costs.
Jacob has been illustrating Lady Midnight's novels for months, half in love with the brilliant mind behind the passionate prose. When he's commissioned to paint the proper, youngest Sterling sister, he discovers she's hiding depths that intrigue him far more than her beauty.
As snow falls and Christmas approaches, their portrait sessions become a delicate dance of wit and wanting. Sophia finds herself torn between safety and the adventure Jacob offers—a new life in America where she could write freely. But when he offers her escape without love, she realizes freedom isn't enough without the man who sees her true self.
When her secret is finally revealed, will Jacob want the proper lady or the scandalous author? And can Sophia risk everything for a man who makes her burn brighter than any heroine she's ever written?
A witty and passionate Christmas romance about hidden identities, artistic souls, and finding someone who loves every facet of who you are.
