The Truth About Love by Stephanie Laurens

ISBN:9780060505769
Disclaimer: I don't read romance novels normally, but when they are given to me i give them each a good read, usually with a bowl of popcorn.

This Cynster novel is about a brother-in law to one of the first 7 Cynsters. So not technically a Cynster novel but it works.
There is a nice tragedy and a couple of murders to make the book a good read. Her accurate portrayal of society and the damage that the haute ton can do to people's lives makes a nice commentary about polite society.
Again an artistic intelligent woman but she is forced to live apart from the circles that she was born into because of scandal. Enter our nobleman artist commissioned ot paint her portrait. He has no interest in her only her family's famous estate gardens in honor of the greek gods. Intrigue ensues and a romance is born.

Keep the popcorn handy.
