Lady with a Bunch of Carnations

At a London auction, there is fierce competition for a miniature known as “The Lady with a Bouquet of Cloves.” Catherine Lorimer managed to beat the other bidders and acquire this valuable little painting, but instead of joy she feels anxiety and emptiness.

This purchase is a risky undertaking, and if it doesn’t bring success, Catherine could end up on the brink of bankruptcy. Besides, she is alone: her closest person—her niece—will soon get married and leave her.

The portrait of a beautiful but unhappy woman captivates her new owner… But won’t the heroine’s fate repeat itself in the painting?
