♥ Luna and Franzi ♥

Words are insufficient anyway, and I am sure you both know how much I love you. My heart is full to bursting with it.

To my husband and my boys, I thank you for being so supportive of this, my life, and for joining me on the journey.

Thank you to Thom and Helen in London for their brilliant assistance with wordsmithing the Brit terminology and vernacular. You probably have no idea how much I look forward to seeing your notes in my manuscript. It’s like opening a much-awaited package. The language of Britain is a thing of magical beauty to me, it always has been, and it always will be.

Quite simply, I am blessed, and I know this from the experiences I have gained in the past year or so. I would be lying if I said it hadn’t been a struggle to write this book. Losing both of my parents has been one of the hardest times of my life, and yet I would choose the same path for most of it, if I had to do it all over again. I know more about living now than I did before. Sometimes it takes death to help us understand life to a better degree. I have no regrets, only love…for the two people who created me and formed me as a person. It’s always there filling my heart and I know they are both proud of my achievements and share in celebrating with me if from another portal of time and space.

Meeting the people who read and enjoy my books, both in person and online, and making those new connections with them, forging relationships within this business is truly… something of the marvelous.

About the Author

Raine has been reading romance novels since she picked up that first Barbara Cartland paperback at the tender age of thirteen. She thinks it was The Flame is Love from 1975. And it's a safe bet she'll never stop reading romance novels 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 tall, dark and handsome hero never goes out of fashion. Never! Writing sexy romance stories pretty much fills her days now... for which she keeps pinching herself to make sure she’s not dreaming. #Truth

Raine has a prince of a husband and two brilliant sons... and two very bouncy but beloved Italian greyhounds 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 have never asked to read any. (Thank God.) The greyhounds are likely to be in her lap while she writes the stories—both dogs at the same time.

She loves to hear from readers and chat about the characters in her books.

You can connect with Raine on Facebook at Raine Miller Romance Readers. She pops in to visit the group most days because it’s a super fun place where romance awesomeness abounds all the day long.
