Your Ryan

Eloise, a woman of delicate health, retreated from the bustling capital to the tranquil village of Feltham, finding solace and a secret passion within the walls of Blissbury Mansion. Entrusted to her father, this grand estate became her private sanctuary—and her clandestine art studio. Here, she poured her heart into creating exquisite, *unauthorized* nude portraits of her ultimate crush, the dashing Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Wilgrave.

Her peaceful existence shatters with the news: a new steward is arriving! Her precious, scandalous artworks are now in grave danger of exposure. In a desperate race against time, Eloise attempts to retrieve her masterpieces, only to collide—quite literally—with the new steward on the grand staircase. His first words? A knowing smirk and a pointed observation: “You’ve never seen the model in person, have you, Miss Eloise. He’s not this small.”

Thus begins the most unexpected entanglement. This new steward, *also* named Ryan, is nothing like the man in her paintings, yet their paths become irrevocably intertwined. From awkward encounters to undeniable chemistry, Eloise finds herself falling for the very man who could expose her deepest secret. Will her artistic endeavors lead to scandal, or to a love she never painted into her life? Discover the charming chaos in chapter 1!
