Books like A Talent for Trouble by Anne Barbour
Talitha Burnside brims with talent that belies her plain appearance, and her skill as a caricaturist quickly catches the eye of the Viscount Chelmsford—an entitled nobleman looking for a fresh voice in a new London novel. Though she initially encourages a purely professional partnership, the Viscount is drawn to her huge brown eyes, coltish grace, and elfin charm.
Co‑creating the manuscript, Talitha and the Viscount explore humor, wit, and the subtleties of Regency society. Their growing affection raises questions about love and livelihood, as Talitha strives for financial independence and the Viscount reevaluates his status as her entire life becomes intertwined.
