She has illuminated many a priceless book. But illuminating a widower's grieving heart will require much more than pen and paint. When her brother dies, Siri de Calendri is forced to close their illuminating workshop and travel from Venice to the unfamiliar county of Poitou. She becomes the ward of her brother's friend, Triston de Brielle, but she does not intend to stay that way. She is determined to find new employment as an illuminator and reclaim, if she can, the happy life she left behind. But Triston is not the guardian she expected.
His wildly handsome good looks take her breath away, while his quiet honor and courage quickly steal her heart. Triston's guilt for the death of his wife has left him hesitant to love again. It feels a betrayal to nourish the sweet stirrings Siri's merry laughter and twinkling eyes bring to life in him. It would be better for his peace of mind to find her a husband. And safer for her to be wed to another when a neighbor out for vengeance attempts to use Siri as a pawn to entangle Triston in a dangerous rivalry between the king's sons. But Siri is not the biddable ward he hopes for.
Her fiery spirit is maddening, her contrariness exasperating, and her vivacious beauty makes his blood run entirely too hot. Treachery and heartbreak lie all around them. Triston's shrewdness and Siri's boldness might deliver them from the first. But can Siri's vibrant spirit ever illuminate the shadows of Triston's heart and lead them both to love?Illuminations of the Heart is a PG-13 rated historical romance.
