About this ebook
In Victorian London, a lovelorn fifty-three-year-old widow discovers she is the muse for a young artist.
Widowed, middle-class, and past her prime, Leonora Aldbury is unwelcome amongst Victorian England's upper crust and denied the opportunities Society can bring — including romantic attachments. She aches for sensual fulfillment, fantasizing about a young artist who sketches in London's National Gallery. During a daring encounter, the artist offers Leonora an intriguing invitation. Will she risk respectability for a chance at love?
"The Invitation" is an older woman / younger man, age gap romance short story of 3,946 words set in Regina Kammer's Victorian Art & Discipline universe. The characters in "The Invitation", Leonora Aldbury and the artist Jasper Dawson, will be integrated into future Art & Discipline books.
