Courting Claudia

A Victorian Romance

About the Book

A dutiful woman, a desirable man…

An artist with a keen eye for the beauty surrounding her – yet none for her own – duty-bound Claudia is resigned to marrying the man of her domineering father’s choosing. First, though, she must resign the job she has held in secret as society illustrator “C.J. Prattley.” But dashing newspaper owner Derrick Middleton is instantly captivated by Claudia’s talent, wit, and sweet nature – and the passionate inner fire she unknowingly possesses. He has other plans for this extraordinary woman.

Until Claudia first entered his London office, Derrick cared for only his paper and the wild bachelor life he has long enjoyed. Now saving Claudia from a dismal marriage – and winning her for himself – becomes his main concern. But courting a woman like Claudia will not be an easy undertaking for a handsome cynic who has always believed true love is not for him – especially after they succumb to an indiscretion that could lead two hearts to ruin … of a most delicious variety.
