The Painted Lady (Signet Regency Romance)
Stunned when the lovely lady he is painting suddenly comes to  life on the canvas and talks to him the Duke of Caswell can only  conclude that his mind has finally snapped. But when his search  for help sends him to Sir Osgood Bannister, the noted brain  fever expert and doctor to the king, he ends up in the care of  the charming, na?ve Miss Lilyanne Bannister, and his life  suddenly takes on a whole new dimension. A frustrated, artistic  rake, a lively heroine who knows that life has more to offer  than she has experienced, and a sassy, outspoken painting add  zing to this traditional Regency, which features witty dialog, a  clever plot, and a large helping of humor.
