The marquess is trapped. To escape an unwanted marriage to a woman he’s never met, he needs a portrait that will shock her into breaking the engagement. The deep scar across his face – which has earned him the name “The Devil of St. James.” – will convince the Scottish bride to break the engagement.
When he thinks he’ll never find the right artist, a woman appears at his door, offering her services on behalf of the renowned painter, Francis Fitzroy.
She has three conditions:
1. The fee is twice as high as usual.
2. Meetings must be private, without witnesses.
3. What happens in the atelier stays in the atelier.
The marquess has no idea what he’s getting into with the enigmatic woman. Even the first session is far from what he imagined...

Softcover. Zustand: As New. "Nash Burnwood, the Marquess of Arden, has returned from the war. He brought with him a deep scar that - along with his near arrogant self-confidence and fiery temperament - has earned him the nickname 'the Devil of St. James'. Now, at the request of the Prince Regent, he is to be compensated for his service in France with a beautiful young bride. However, Nash has no intention of marrying and has devised a clever plan: he will send the unwanted bride a realistic portrait of himself to scare her away." --Back cover.
