PLEASE NOTE: This book may have an alternate cover. The following description is a guide only and may contain text that is not specific to this item. In The Truth about Love, her 12th Cynster novel, bestselling author Stephanie Laurens weaves a dark mystery with an elegant romance. Portrait artist Gerrard Debbington will do almost anything for the opportunity to paint the legendary gardens of Hellebore Hall. Its owner, Lord Tregonning, strikes a curious bargain: Gerrard may paint the gardens only if he first paints a portrait of the lord's daughter, Jacqueline. One reluctant look at her and it is love at first sight for this self-assured bachelor, but much stands in the way of their happiness. Jacqueline is widely suspected by family and neighbors to have murdered her mother several years ago; these rumors gain new life when another dead body turns up in the lush greenery. While Gerrard's portrait of Jacqueline will tell the truth about her innocence, he will never be able to experience the truth about love until the real murderer is found.
