Publisher Description

Lorraina prides herself on being the perfect Princess, but her growing feelings for a man far beneath her station have her questioning whether to follow her passion or follow the rules.

A year ago, Princess Lorraina watched Tobias die, and she still doesn't know how she's supposed to heal—or forgive. How can she when she's still running away?

She decides to do the only thing that brings her joy—paint. In an attempt to reinvent herself, she steps outside her comfortable life as princess and seeks the tutelage of a master painter—a man who is not at all impressed by her pedigree, and demands not just talent, but emotional honesty.

Struggling to learn what's being taught, she finds herself drawn to someone who not only knows her secrets, but who she once considered far below her notice. He makes her feel not only wanted, but safe, which is something Tobias never gave her. Now she is compelled to seek him out despite knowing their relationship would be forbidden if discovered. He tugs at her heart, reeling her in with his smile and compassion. Staying away from him doesn't seem possible when discovering him may be the key to healing her heart and rediscovering herself.

This historical fantasy romance is all swoon and no spice. It tells the story of a perfectionist painter who felt the trauma of falling for the bad boy before discovering the good guy. This sweet romance is perfect for those who enjoy stories of redemption, healing, discovering our true selves, and getting a happy ending.
