The Truth about the Viscount by Rose Pearson

Her drawing captured his likeness—his heart was an unexpected prize.
When a dreadful situation seeks to force his hand, Daniel, Viscount Hastings, suddenly sees London society in an entirely new light. Pulling back from it, he chooses only to be present for his sister’s sake, eager now to be as far from London as he can. When a fine drawing of him appears in The London Chronicle – as well as an apt description of his character – Daniel’s anger burns… as does his concern. Could it be that this person knows what has taken place? Do they know why he is as dark minded as he is and do they intend to reveal it?

Patience has always enjoyed painting and drawing and being offered a chance to have them shared in the Chronicle is something she cannot turn aside from! When an angry gentleman rails at her for what she has done, Patience is both shocked and upset, struggling to explain herself. Finding herself a little intrigued, Patience does her best to find out why Lord Hastings is so furious, though when danger arises, she is caught up by it along with him!
