The Duke's Accidental Wife (Dukes of War book 7)
“She desperately wanted to surprise her husband with a complete recreation of his childhood parlor, but to do so, she could neither allow woodworkers and designers and seamstresses to use the parlor as their workshop, nor could she allow them to keep the cherished portrait in their own workshop for weeks on end.
Even if the gift were not a surprise, Ravenwood would never allow the parlor to be invaded in such a way—or to allow the painting out of his possession for even a moment.
So she’d made a... compromise. A risky one. She’d snuck the family portrait to her friends whilst Ravenwood was at Parliament and instructed them to return it the following night when he was away again.
Twenty-four hours for the best painter of their acquaintance to forge a copy of the canvas with perfect exactitude.
Twenty-four hours in which Ravenwood might decide at any moment to revisit his old memories…and discover them missing.
Three hours remained. Ravenwood was still at home. The portrait was not.
