Synopsis

For Christmas, soft-spoken Lady Jenny Windham craves the freedom to pursue her artistic ambitions, though it will mean scandalizing her ducal parents and abandoning all hope of a family of her own. She confides her plans to successful artist Elijah Harrison when he's commissioned to paint a portrait of her small nephews, because assisting Elijah will bring Jenny that much closer to her heart's desire—won't it?

Elijah Harrison finds in his unlikely assistant not only an inspiring muse and unappreciated talent, but also a lovely and passionate woman. If Elijah supports Jenny's career, his own professional interests will suffer, but more significantly, he will lose Jenny forever. Both Jenny and Elijah must choose between true love and a lifelong dream.

Contains mature themes.

Lovely, romantic story! The hero and heroine are original and well-drawn characters, and we get to see lots of the Duke, Duchess, and all of the Windham siblings and grandchildren.

So what does Lady Jenny really want for Christmas? Not buttons and bows and nothing material; what she really wants is the freedom to follow her passion and pursue her artistic ambitions.
