This HaBO is from Sinéad, who is looking for this romance:
Can you help me find the name of a book please?
It is a Mills and Boon or Harlequin written in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
I think it was set in Canada or North America. The hero was an artist and the heroine was a school teacher. They are out in the countryside together. He painted her portrait and he had a dog; I think it was a husky?
Towards the end she goes back to teaching and he follows her to her school and proposes.
Sound familiar?
