What if the truth about a famous painting was not what it’s been told to be? What if it was not even the original work and a different painting had inspired its creation? The story of a painting… The motivation behind the work, Flaming June—Romanticist painter, Lord Frederic Leighton’s magnum opus—a woman sleeping in a chair. Hauntingly beautiful, but with its inspiration locked away in the mystery of times past.
1811…
Burdened with family skeletons and agonizing guilt, an unwilling Lord Rothvale, one Graham Everley, returns from a long sojourn in Ireland to attend to the obligations awaiting him in England. The last thing he imagines to find is his destiny, but find her he does. Imogene Byron-Cole, a girl as lovely as her past is tragic. Graham can’t walk away from her, and so he marries her instead, in spite of an increasingly tangled web of troubles that threaten to destroy the very foundation of his entire existence.
As Graham and Imogene start out on their journey together, they express their love through a series of portraits. The art ensnares them completely, and in the end, becomes their salvation, bearing them through their deepest pain of loss, and inspiring a masterwork.
[This will be book one of a three part saga in the Rothvale Legacy Historical Prequel series.]

Raine Miller has been reading romance novels since she picked up that first Barbara Cartland
book at the tender age of thirteen. And it’s a safe bet she’ll never stop,
because now she writes them too! Granted Raine’s stories are edgy enough to
turn Ms. Cartland in her grave, but to her way of thinking, a hot, sexy hero
never goes out of fashion. A former teacher, she’s now writing sexy romance
stories full time. She has a handsome prince of a husband, and two brilliant
sons to pull her back into the real world if the writing takes her too far
away. Her sons know she likes to write stories, but gratefully have never asked
to read any, thank God! Raine loves to hear from readers and to chat about the
characters in her books. You can contact her at raine_miller@ymail.com or visit www.RaineMiller.com to sign up for updates and her newsletter with links to upcoming books. Also, you can text RAINE to 96000 if you prefer.
