The Painted Rose Lucien Delacourte, a French artist plagued by the deaths of his wife and child, accepts a tutoring position in England to escape his demons. His student, the reclusive Lady Sarah Essington, has not ventured beyond the walls of her gardens since an accident marred her beauty eight years ago. Can they help to heal each other’s scars, or will their pasts forever haunt them?
