Biography from Harlequin Romance #2489 The Golden Spaniard
"When one happens to be an unmarried woman of forty-five and apparently fixed for the rest of her working life in a safe and settled job," Rebecca Stratton says of herself, "it is apt to be regarded as bordering on the insane to suddenly give it all up and become a full-time writer."
But that is precisely what British-born and -bred Rebecca did one August day in 1967. Writing had always been her ultimate aim, and she felt that if she didn't make the move right then and there she'd end her days as "one more elderly lady sighing for what might have been."
When Rebecca Stratton's first attempt at a romance novel was accepted, she didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. So she did both. Then she celebrated with friends and relatives. And then sat down to the job of writing more books - and reveled in it!

«Evita… niña… amada… pequeña…» Questi teneri appellativi si alternano a frasi secche e sprezzanti sulla bocca dell'affascinante pittore andaluso Miguel Cordova. Tutti diretti a Eva, una giovanissima studentessa d'arte venuta in Spagna alla scuola del celeberrimo Miguel, che in un'altalena di sentimenti contraddittori si sentirà contesa, invidiata, ammirata per la sua dolcissima, bionda bellezza. Chi sceglierà? Il fedele Michael o l'arrogante don Miguel? Il ragazzo innamorato o l'artista appassionato, che l'ha scelta per immortalarla sotto l'aspetto di una Madonna bionda, dai riflessi d'oro fuso?

Really enjoyed this novel set in Spain in the 1970s. Liked the characters too. Loved this UK pink covered book cover for this novel.
