When 24-year-old Ella lands a coveted internship at the city’s hottest art gallery, she never expects her boss to be Simon—a brooding, 42-year-old genius who’s more interested in his paintbrush than romance. But when a family wedding threatens to expose her single status, Ella concocts a plan: a fake relationship with her moody mentor.
With quirky dates, accidental paint splatters, and enough awkward moments to fill a gallery, Ella’s determined to show Simon that love can be as vibrant as the art they create. Will their pretend romance turn into a masterpiece of the heart by Valentine’s Day, or will Simon’s fears leave them both on the sidelines?
Warning: This standalone includes steamy, naughty scenes (trust me, they get down dirty), a grumpy boss, an innocent heroine, a big family with big secrets, and a fake romance that gets a little too real in the bedroom (wink wink)
