Behind the Eyes of
Dorian Gray

by
Beth A. Carpenter

The gentlemen with the wicked, brown eyes, the beautiful young man, whose image had been immortalized more than two centuries before by the artist’s brush, seemed much more than pigment and paint and canvas. When best-selling author Rachael Lafferty saw the painting on the auction block, the beautiful young man captured her heart and her writer’s imagination. She knew she had to have the painting—it would make the Victorian townhouse she was restoring complete...

More complete than she ever could have guessed, for when she brought her prize home and lovingly hung it on the wall, Dorian Gray’s trapped soul stepped out of the painting and into her life.

Cold. Dark. His much-deserved hell. Those were the only things Dorian had known for more than a century. But, now, impossibly, he was in his own home once more, though a hundred years had passed. Felt warmth once more. And love—his love for Rachael makes him corporeal to her. Love that might redeem his jaded soul, make him into a new man…

Make him alive again….

But his presence in the house stirs jealously. Someone dear to Rachael wants the ghost gone from Rachael’s life, someone who knows just how to get the job done.

And that person won’t stop until Dorian Gray is again banished from this earth.
