AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A heartbroken photographer. An overlooked widow. One photographic plate.

'Clarke Metcalfe is down on his luck. Heartbroken and penniless, Clarke has one last chance to clear the debt he was saddled with when his beloved Emmaline left town to pursue the bright lights of Broadway. It’s an opportunity that will clear his debts and save his kneecaps. But when the mysterious Mrs. Price arrives at his studio, she is not at all what he was expecting.

'Francine Price has spent her marriage trying to meet her husband’s impossible standards, which included keeping her simple, intimate desires at bay. Now her husband is gone, she has begun sorting through his things. And what an eye-opening discovery she has made.

'Francine and Clarke come together for an afternoon—he, the photographer, her the model. But as the afternoon progresses, desires are voiced, and heartaches are laid bare. Clarke and Francine learn the power of passion exposed, but what does it mean to be truly seen by another?

'The Portrait Sitting is a slow burn steamy novelette for fans of romantic historical fiction between consenting adults.' (Publication summary)
