He’s
not even close to her type…
Valentine always did what was expected of her—and ended
up with a broken heart and a stolen identity for her troubles. Now she works as
a freelance artist in the heart of New Orleans and lives day by day, not for
the future. Lately her days are filled with loud construction thanks to the
ridiculously hot contractor who’s working on her building. A man she’s doing
her best to ignore, no matter how hard he makes it.
But maybe he’s exactly what she needs…
Arthur, aka “Bear,” has fallen hard for Valentine, a
sweet, quirky woman with eclectic jobs—like posing as a nude model for art
classes. But she barely seems to know he exists, until he saves her from a
would-be mugger. After that, things change overnight, but she’s still keeping
him at arm’s length. Even though he wants to prove to her that he’s nothing
like the men from her past, he’s trying to pretend that he can do casual but
it’s too late—he’s already all in. Unfortunately it might not be enough for his
Valentine.
