Author Description

A fire takes away the love of his life. It takes everything else he has to find her again. When the charming Harold Avington finds the woman of his dreams only to lose her to a sudden, fateful fire, the talented artist plunges into irreparable despair. No canvas inspires him; no woman compels him. His family’s best efforts soothe his wounds. But only the mysterious veiled woman he encounters, over a hundred miles from London, reignites his imagination. Clara Eisel, on the cusp of her triumphant London debut, loses her family, her home, and her claim to beauty overnight. Picking up the pieces of her shattered world, she seeks her purpose in charity and service instead; but her newfound contentment is put to the test when the last man she’s ever expected to see again appears right in front of her, without knowing who she is. Can Harold find himself again in the shadow of losing Clara? And can an artist whose life is dedicated to beauty ever learn to love a woman whose face he’s never seen? Book 3 in the Avington-Nottingham series.
