Julius Hennington got exactly what he’d bargained for in his marriage—an heir, advancement in the family fortunes and unprecedented connections. What he hadn’t gotten was happiness, nor what constituted an actual marriage. In fact, his wife, who had always been enamored with royalty, had taken up with an Italian prince somewhere on the continent. In all, he didn’t regret the choices he’d made. They had served the family name and that was of primary importance, even as his wife was now pressing him for a divorce.
Portrait commissions wasn’t work that Jane Brightly loved, but they paid handsomely. Typically they involved people she didn’t particularly like, or who were in any way interesting, and her impression of Lord Hennington was no different—a man she recalled meeting briefly some years before when she’d work for the charity school supply business run by her friend, Lady Warwick. Julius Hennington hadn’t been terribly welcoming then, but the man she met now was sterner and more solemn. Efficient, might be the better way of describing him. Closed off, even, and it made it hard to catch the light she sought in people’s eyes. With him, she couldn’t see it, and that bothered her.
Genre: Historical Romance
