Book reviewer Darcy Dennison wants to wring her neighbor's neck. That's a crying shame considering how gorgeous the artist is, but she needs peace and quiet to get her work done. Models throwing fits in his apartment don't help.

On a temporary work visa, Paolo Santori has little time to paint his nudes before returning to Italy to marry a woman he doesn't love. Then Darcy bursts into his life. The solution to her noise complaints is simple—she'll model his favorite subject while she works.

Making her glisten thrills them both, but falling in love could mean losing everything he's ever known.
