<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A new historical romance From USA Today bestselling author Mimi Matthews, featuring a wounded Peninsular War hero, a tender-hearted heroine with heterochromia, and dogs-lots of dogs.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em><strong>An Uncommon Beauty...</strong></em></p><p>Hidden away in rural Devonshire, Phyllida Satterthwaite has always been considered more odd than beautiful. But in London, her oddity has made her a sensation. Far worse, it's caught the eye of the sinister Duke of Moreland--a notorious art collector obsessed with acquiring one-of-a-kind treasures. To escape the duke's clutches, she's going to need a little help.</p><p><em><strong>An Unlikely Hero...</strong></em></p><p>Captain Arthur Heywood's days of heroism are long past. Grievously injured in the Peninsular War, he can no longer walk unaided, let alone shoot a pistol. What use can he possibly be to a damsel in distress? He has nothing left to offer except his good name.</p><p>Can a marriage of convenience save Philly from the vengeful duke? Or will life with Arthur put her--and her heart--in more danger than ever?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"In her sixth historical romance, Matthews (<em>The Pug Who Bit Napoleon</em>; <em>A Victorian Lady's Guide to Fashion and Beauty</em>) weaves suspense and mystery within an absorbing love story. Readers will be hard put to set this one down before the end. Highly recommended to historical romance and/or mystery buffs and especially animal lovers." <strong>-<em>Library Journal</em>, starred review</strong></p><p>"The author seamlessly combines a suspenseful tale and a soaring romance, the plot by turns sweetly moving and dramatically stirring...A thoughtfully executed tale that perceptively dramatizes the tension between the demands of love and commerce."<strong> -<em>Kirkus Reviews</em></strong></p><p>"A story as beautiful, atmospheric, and arresting as its haunting cover...In its pages are romance, adventure, bravery, and humor...and my absolute favorite--the universal themes of courage, loss, and restoration. I highly recommend this enchanting and thought-provoking novel for your Summer 2019 to-read list."<strong> -<em>Austenprose</em></strong></p><p>"Truly a work of art...when it comes to this book, romance and suspense are a match made in heaven."<strong> -<em>Bookstr</em> (Five of the Hottest Romance Novels this Side of the Web)</strong></p><p>"If all Regency Romances were written as well as 'The Work of Art, ' I would read them all...[Matthews] has a true gift for storytelling." <strong>-<em>The Herald-Dispatch</em></strong></p><br>
