PRE-ORDER THE FOURTH AND FINAL BOOK IN THE ENCHANTING BELLES OF LONDON SERIES NOW, from USA TODAY **BESTSELLING AUTHOR, MIMI MATTHEWS PERFECT FOR BRIDGERTON FANS** 'No one writes Victorian Romance like Mimi Matthews, and her Belles of London series just keeps getting better!' Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network and *The Rose Code ---* A silver-haired equestrienne and a charismatic artist turn a scandalous bargain into a vibrant portrait of love. Stella Hobhouse is a brilliant rider, stalwart friend, skilled sketch artist—and completely overlooked. Her outmodish gray hair makes her invisible to London society. Combined with her brother’s pious restrictions and her dwindling inheritance, Stella is on the verge of a lifetime marooned in Derbyshire as a spinster. Unless she does something drastic…like posing for a daring new style of portrait by the only man who’s ever really seen her. Aspiring painter Edward “Teddy” Hayes knows true beauty when he sees it. He would never ask Stella to risk her reputation as an artist’s model, but in the five years since a virulent bout of scarlet fever left him partially paralysed, Teddy has learned to heed good fortune when he finds it. He’ll do anything to persuade his muse to pose for him, even if he must offer her a marriage of convenience. After all, though Teddy has yearned to trace Stella’s luminous beauty on canvas since their chance meeting, her heart is what he truly aches to capture…. --- READER PRAISE FOR THE BELLES OF LONDON SERIES ***** 'Transporting and swoony, just why I read historical romance. ' Goodreads reader ***** 'Can't stop thinking about Anne and Hart and their yearning!' Goodreads reader ***** 'So sweet and tender.... unforgettable' Goodreads reader
