About The Lady in Gray

The Art of Love Lady Sylvia Sutherland was a young woman of many talents--and painting was her passion. Many were the days she would carry her easel and paintbox to the Cornish cliffs, trying to capture the windblown beauties of nature on her canvas. Then one day, the unthinkable happened. A man--as arrogant and mocking as the smirk on his face--ordered Lady Sylvia off the estate! It was none other than Nicholas Morley, the Earl of Longueville. Sylvia had heard all the rumors about his tragic past. Being scorned by society herself, she was no stranger to cruel gossip. Perhaps they had something in common-- and yet Sylvia couldn't believe her ears when the handsome earl asked her to paint his portrait! The devilish gleam in his eyes made her wonder if he wanted something more. The proposition seemed downright scandalous. Especially when the arrangement demanded hours of close intimacy, staring into each other's eyes--and learning the secret longings hidden deep within their hearts....
