About this listen

A woman with a dream. A rake with a secret passion. A scandalous encounter.

Juliet

Juliet knows exactly what she wants—to display her art and soul for all the world to view. The last thing she sees in her vision is a talented rake, but that’s exactly what Juliet finds in the tempting Theo, Marquess of Camden.

As talented and off-limits as Theo is, Juliet soon finds herself falling headfirst into what could be quite a salacious scandal with the sinful artisan rake in her midst.

Is their love the masterpiece she’s been searching for? Or will Juliet’s dreams shatter more than just Theo’s artistic aspirations?

Theo

Theo has spent years hiding his true passion—art. However, being known as a rake is the perfect cover for Theo to study the beauty of human form…while also indulging in it, of course.
When a chance meeting introduces Theo to the stunning Juliet, he knows he’s found his muse. His masterpiece.
If only Theo could convince the ambitious Juliet to let him capture her heart in more ways than one…

Can Theo put aside his reputation in favor of his heart? Or will his intentions paint a scandal that will ruin more than just his family’s name?

Note: This is a spicy novella with 5+ explicit scenes and a guaranteed HEA!

Brilliant narration from CC Kline, who brings the drama, characters and steam to your ears.

We meet Juliet and Theo in the first book. It was great to hear their story and see the drama, dynamics between them. This is a great fast-paced regency romance, full of steam and spice.
