He was a confirmed bachelor—and a gorgeous work of art.

For struggling art conservationist Callie Burke, the chance to restore a world-famous painting is the opportunity of a lifetime—one that no one in her right mind would turn down. Call her crazy, but Callie has serious reservations about working with the painting’s owner. Warm and sexy, Jack Walker makes no attempt to hide the strong attraction he feels for Callie—even as she tries to keep their relationship professional. Now, cocooned in his studio in Boston, she will either have to learn to ignore the man and concentrate on the masterpiece, or give in to the kind of passion that can never be captured on canvas.

Jack Walker is a practical man who runs his life, his empire, and his fortune effortlessly. Yet from the moment he met Callie Burke, he wanted her with all the intensity of a first crush. As he gets to know her, the desire blossoms into something more—and Jack finds that for the first time in his life he is leading with his heart instead of his head. . . .

Lovely

This is a book I already felt connected to just from the brief glimpse we got of the characters in the previous book — and that’s how strong this story ended up being for me.

I loved this book, these characters, and this story so much.

Callie has lived a hard life. Even though she’s grown up now and no longer has her parents — who were at the center of many of her struggles — she’s still fighting. Her resilience is quiet but powerful, and that made her incredibly easy to root for.

Jack is pure passion. I’m such a sucker for passionate characters, and he embodies that intensity in a way that feels genuine and emotional, not forced.

Their story stayed with me long after I finished it, and it’s one of those books where the connection to the characters makes all the difference.
