Loving a Lady

Ewan Campbell fought to free himself from his past-quite literally. A former prizefighter, he now earns his living as an artist. But he still fights more figurative opponents: dark memories that threaten to overwhelm him. Worse, when he is hired to assist a famous painter, he finds himself falling for the man's highborn niece, Lady Kildrum. Such feelings are pointless.

Violet Kerr, Lady Kildrum, struggles to make decisions, and she shouldn't. She's a countess in her own right, for heaven's sake. Decision-making skills should flow through her blood. After all, her life's path is clear: marry a nobleman, provide for her sisters, and see to the welfare of her tenants. And Violet has made one decision: she must curb her attraction to Ewan Campbell, her uncle's new art assistant. The lowly Highlander, no matter how alluring, is not a proper suitor. She definitely should not fantasize about the man-or, if she does, she should not allow such fantasies to lead to very real kissing. Because kissing could bring on the most difficult decision of all...
