Painting Rain (Books of Dalthia)

A proper, clean romance.

How do you heal your heart after tragedy leaves you broken? When the person you loved didn€t deserve it and they can€t earn your forgiveness because they€re already dead? How do you move on, and heal, and love?

If you€re Princess Lorraina, you paint.

A year ago Lorraina watched Tobias die, and she still doesn't know how she's supposed to heal€"or forgive. How can she when she€s still running away? In an attempt to reinvent herself, she steps outside her comfortable life as princess and seeks the tutelage of a master painter€"a man who is not at all impressed by her pedigree, and demands not just talent, but emotional honesty.

Struggling to learn what€s being taught, she finds herself drawn to someone who not only knows her secrets, but who she once considered far below her notice. Now she is compelled to seek him out despite knowing their relationship would be forbidden if discovered. Staying away from him doesn€t seem possible when discovering him may be the key to healing her heart and rediscovering herself.
