In this contemporary New York City-set romance novel, a misunderstanding brings a reluctant muse and creative artist together, revealing a potential love.

Manhattan millionaire Payne Sterling is used to being in the public eye, but his notoriety goes too far when he sees his picture on a succession of new romance novels. Payne has never posed for any portrait, so he's determined to track down the artist who's embarrassed him . . .

Beautiful, talented Rainey Bennet had seen Payne's photo in her brother's holiday snaps and, having no idea he was a famous entrepreneur, she thought he made perfect "hero" material. In the flesh, he's just as gorgeous—but now he's taking her to court. Until the powerful tycoon proposes a way for Rainey to pay him back.
