Whitney Graves didn't build Ellswood's most respected gallery by playing it safe. She's spent years cultivating the perfect reputation-and keeping her heart firmly out of frame. What her gallery needs is a masterpiece to cement her legacy. So when whispers surface about a highly coveted private collection, she's determined to claim it. She just didn't expect Warner Easton, six-foot-infinity stunner, enigmatic billionaire, reclusive widower, and the estate representative. Warner isn't just another powerful man with deep pockets. He's rebuilding his life, and parting with his late wife's art is another step toward healing. So when a local gallery's brochure is hand-delivered along with an invitation to an upcoming exhibit, it feels like a sign. A fresh start. A chance to meet the captivating woman featured inside... not so much the scandalous "Restroom Rendezvous" that makes the next day's headlines. Now no other gallery will touch him. And Whit may be his only option. Soon, Warner asks her to venture to his remote Caribbean island to assess the collection. There's just one catch: isolation changes everything. Alone in paradise with an unfairly beautiful man as guarded as she is, Whit finds herself entangled in more than brushstrokes and contracts. As secrets surface and an unexpected art thief closes in, what begins as a high-stakes acquisition turns dangerous. And if they're not careful, surviving may be the least of their worries-a second chance at love could leave their hearts in ruins.
