Brushstrokes

Starving artist Mia Drake is starving-for a way to make money since moving back to Sassafras, South Carolina, and for a man to bring her increasingly wicked fantasies to life. The only local work for a painter is to put a fresh coat on the walls of The Rose Tavern-but that means staying professional with hunky owner Rick Rose, who's exactly the kind of man she hungers for... Rick asked for white paint on his walls, not a giant mural on his ceiling. But sexy, sassy Mia seems to spread color wherever she goes-along with the temptation to make his body a blank canvas for her every desire. Rick needs to find a way to draw the line before Mia paints her way right into his heart.
