Even in the Regency marketing plans were useful especially when parents were seeking to marry a daughter advantageously. Lord and Lady Curran expect their daughter's portrait to convince potential suitors of her beauty her worth and her desirability. Of course it must also show her as a perfect obedient demure lady. Kermit Sutherland is a popular portraitist so of course he is engaged to produce the portrait. What Chastity's parents don't understand is that Sutherland paints more than the surface. He has a knack for seeing into a woman's heart and soul. Under her obedient façade Chastity harbors a rebellious heart and Sutherland sees it and encourages it. When her portrait is finished it might show more than her parents--or she--have bargained for.
