I must admit to being a total neophyte in the art history world. But I am
a complete sucker for a story filled with mystique and wonder and if
along the way I get an education, well all the better. BREATHLESS is one of those stories. Artists find
themselves captured by a moment, a place, or as the artist central to
BREATHLESS: to a woman. A
beautiful woman who washed up on the shore and became an
important part of his life. That is if we believe the story depicted in the
artist's series on this woman. There is quite a story here, but much has
been elusive.
Set in the present day, Harvard art professor Dr. Brenna Anderson
decides to follow some new previously unknown leads about the
mysterious artist, L.A., and his equally intriguing subject, the Swan or
the Siren. Which is it, or could they possibly be one and the same? With
her job on the line, Brenna decides to take a chance and try to find out
more about the woman who took the art world by storm...
As the story of BREATHLESS
continues, we learn more and more about this mysterious woman
known as the Swan. It almost appears as if she is mystical, but then we
have to acknowledge that she was very real. Unfortunately, Brenna has
competition in the search for this series of work, but her competition
looks only for financial gain. Fitch Wilder has a dedicated buyer for
anything by the artist in this series. Fitch has crossed paths with
Brenna before, and she knows how relentless he can be when it comes
to buying art. And while this new information about this artist could
save her teaching position, Fitch has his sights set on another finder's
fee. The dilemma is whether to trust her instincts and follow her own
leads, or gamble with her reputation and join forces with Fitch.
Mesmerizing! At first glance BREATHLESS seems to be a romantic foray between
two very competitive characters. First impressions are often misleading
and that's why BREATHLESS turns
into a compelling tale involving present and past events that are
seamlessly interwoven page by page. It's almost impossible to put this
book down. The inquisitive nature of all of us just can't wait to see what
we learn next. And trust me it's definitely worth each turn of a page.
BREATHLESS is a work of art with
romance, mystery, and a touch of whimsy amidst the glorious world of
art and art history. Get ready to smile; BREATHLESS is pure enjoyment thanks to the talented
and imaginative authors Celeste Bradley and Susan Donovan.
In BREATHLESS, bestselling authors Celeste Bradley
and Susan Donovan will sweep you away—across continents and
centuries, combining the best of all worlds in one
unforgettable romantic saga.
She was “the Swan.” London’s premiere courtesan. Men want
to be with her.
Women loathe her success and yet admire her beauty, her
riches, her independence. But when the jealous wife of her
lover moves to have the Swan banished from her home on the
high seas, she winds up crashed against Spain’s rocky coast
with no shoes, no clothes—and no name. Taken in by a
tortured, sensuous man known as The Artist, the Swan comes
to know the woman she wants to be—her artist’s siren.
When Art Professor Brenna Anderson is in danger of
losing her post at Harvard, the rule-following, prim
professor is at a loss of how to salvage the shreds of her
life. But when a new painting in the mysterious Siren
collection is discovered in a dusty old house in France,
Brenna does the unthinkable—hops on a plane to uncover the
identity of the beautiful, enigmatic woman who is the
subject of the paintings.
There’s just one
hitch—the frustrating, irritating, bold and beautiful art
hunter Fitch Wilder is also looking for the Siren. He’s
been a thorn in Brenna’s professional side for years, but
when their individual quests lead them to team up despite
being enemies, a whole new sumptuous world of art and
culture opens up for the two of them. And with it, they
enter a realm of passion and love…
