Companion to the Count

Summary

Saffron Summersby lost everything after her brother's suspicious death: her dresses, her dowry, her place in society as a baronet's sister. So when she sees her brother's face in the latest painting from famous anonymous artist Ravenmore and realizes he might still be alive, she comes up with a plan: learn the identity of the painter, find her brother, and save her sister from marrying a brute.

After the death of his sister, Leopold "Leo" Mayweather, Viscount Briarwood, gave up his wild ways and devoted his life to art, particularly the distribution of paintings by the reclusive Ravenmore. He doesn't expect a beautiful woman to storm into his life, determined to unmask Ravenmore.

Fearing Saffron will disrupt his plans, Leo nonetheless agrees to introduce her to Ravenmore in exchange for her help arranging the auction and quietly investigating everyone with interest in the final Ravenmore painting for sale.

But as the guests arrive and passion sparks between the viscount and the impoverished lady, the two would-be lovers must navigate a series of suspicious accidents to uncover the truth before someone else becomes the victim of dangerous sabotage.

Contains mature themes.
