When her emotion-packed, post-break up painting called The Betrayal is sold to an unknown buyer, she decides to fly to Toronto to see her deceased father's mural with her own two eyes, hopeful that she will find inspiration. But when bad timing and unlucky stars decide to squeeze into the picture, priorities start to drift to a different direction. MARCUS DON VALENTINE, a ravishing CEO at the age of twenty-seven finds himself in a pinch. But lady luck smiles back when he finds just the right girl for the right job and he will leave her without any option. The only way out is to accept the deal. The deal was simple enough for Emerald: to be Marcus's fake girlfriend in less than three weeks. Easy peasy. But a few deep conversations, unanticipated passionate kiss, and too many breathtaking moments later, she finds herself falling for the man with a crumpled paper heart. Will she be able to paint the colours that once was lost? Copyright © 2014 | J.
