    About this ebook

    Florence, 1875

    After making a grisly discovery one night, I needed proof that there was still goodness in the world. I never dreamt it would come to me during my next commissionwith a subject whose very name means light...

    Yuri was glorious in his otherworldly beauty, surrounded by a bright halo of iridescence, but I detected a fierce darkness lurking underneath the surface. Sketching all night, I could hardly wait to capture his likeness in a painting. For Yuri has stimulated not only my creative urges, but my sexual ones as well.

    His very presence infuses me with joy and passion, but what will happen if my patron should discover our trysts? Dependent on his good graces, I can't afford to lose his support. But I fear the time will soon come when I must choose between restoring my family's fortunes and obeying the temptation of the muse before me...

    Previously published as Chiaroscuro, newly revised by author.
