This is the story of Rowan and Carne. Carne was a sculptor with attitude and had a reclusive getaway that he opened to 19 year old Rowan's stepmother. In order to get in, her stepmother lied about her age and Rowan had to live with the lie as well as other lies that would put her in a bad light. Carne fell for her, but as seems to be typical of Harlequins in the age this book was written, he treated her fairly cruelly quite often. Rowan was framed for stealing, but ultimately was vindicated. Fairly standard in parts, but the romance had its high points, if you're willing to look past the claws he often treats her with.
