Portrait of the Senator’s Wife

Portrait of the Senator’s Wife
By Julia Underwood

The world knows Anna Sterling as M.L. Hawthorne, a painter who guards her privacy fiercely and refuses commissions on principle. But when family obligation corners her, she reluctantly agrees to paint Juliet McGill, the polished wife of a rising senator. Whatever pull Anna feels toward Jules has to be professional. Jules is married, likely straight, and constantly in the public eye.

Juliet McGill is exactly what’s expected: poised, beautiful, and useful to her husband’s political climb. She knows how to play the role, even if it no longer feels like her. Sitting for a portrait she never asked for to boost her husband’s campaign feels like just another lie.

Anna expects an elitist socialite. Juliet expects a difficult artist. Neither is prepared for a connection they can’t ignore. A cheating husband. A carefully crafted image starting to crack. A break-in that doesn’t look like coincidence. And a press ready to turn everything into scandal. As the pressure builds, the portrait becomes more than a painting. It’s the only place they can stop pretending.
