He broke her masterpiece. Now he intends to master her heart.
Magnolia “Nole” Burns has one rule: Art first. Emotions never.
As the struggling owner of the Front Street Gallery, she needs the Red Mountain Festival prize money to keep the lights on. She doesn’t have time for distractions.
Especially not Ranier Ferran.
He is wealthy, arrogant, and infuriatingly talented. He is also her new tenant. The moment he strolls into her studio and accidentally shatters her prize entry, the war is on.
But Ranier doesn't just want to be her rival. He wants to be her muse.
Trapped together in the heat of the shared studio, their Enemies-to-Lovers rivalry explodes into a dangerous attraction. Ranier challenges her control, pushing Nole’s boundaries and testing her limits. But the game changes when she discovers his secret entry for the festival: a scandalous painting of her—exposed, vulnerable, and titled The Claiming of the Rose.
Furious and dangerously aroused, Nole decides to fight fire with fire. She begins a revenge sculpture that lays Ranier bare to the world.
Now, in a battle of wills where art imitates lust, Nole must make a choice: Win the prize money that saves her business, or surrender to the man who knows exactly how to mold her desires?
