Drawing Lessons Part One
The first part of DRAWING LESSONS, a three-part series by contemporary romance author Julia Gabriel.
Marie Witherspoon has spent her entire life as an accessory to other people's political careers. Now she’s been dumped by her husband--a rising political star--and humiliated by his gossip blogger mistress. To cheer her up, her best friend gives her a gift— three months of drawing lessons with a local artist.
The last time artist and professor Luc Marchand got involved with a student, things ended badly. So badly that he's remained unattached ever since.
Marie’s first lesson with Luc is explosive. He pushes her away. She’s breakable—and he’s broken too many women already. But Washington’s world of money and politics pushes them back together and this time Luc can’t resist the temptation.
He encourages her to see like an artist, but her journey of self discovery sets them both off on a path whose destination is unknown.
"What a sigh-worthy tale! The relationship between Marie and Luc is a slowly growing burn. One that isn't an insta-love relationship, it builds with each lesson, making it much more romantic ... There are twists and turns in this story that one will not expect, which is a delightful surprise. Ms. Gabriel does an amazing job of making the reader want to turn every page and savor it." -- InD'Tale Magazine
"Gabriel paints white-hot sex scenes."-- Kirkus Reviews
