"I didn't ask what you should be doing, I asked if you wanted me to stop."
In the busy, overcrowded streets of London, Eliza O'Connor lives a double life. By day, she makes ends meet as a bartender, trying and mostly failing to keep on top of ever increasing bills and looming debt. By night, she takes to the stage, hustling men as an exotic dancer, doing everything she can to conceal this part of her life from her conservative sister.
Marko Cruz, a relentless lawyer, finds solace only in his work, his hectic schedule leaving him little time for leisure or love. When fate intervenes through his best friend's wedding plans, their worlds collide unexpectedly. Drawn together by an irresistible spark, Eliza and Marko dance around an undeniable connection that defies the boundaries of their separate lives.
As they grow closer, Eliza grapples with the looming expectations of her sister, the ever increasing hostility of the world around her to sex work, and her fraught relationship with her current boyfriend. How, in all of this, can she reveal the details of her life to someone whose world is so different from hers? Will their growing affection withstand the weight of the secrets she keeps?

Paint Splattered Chaos and Passion
What do you do when paint splattered chaos breaks down the walls of passion? Amelia is an ambitious but uptight defence attorney who works downtown. She's got a sharp jaw, and an even sharper tongue but she knows when she puts her foot in it. Amelia puts her work first, she doesn't do casual, and she certainly doesn't do messy feelings. She is precision and control, polished to perfection, with cracks she refuses to show, standing tall in her blazer and heels. Amelia hasn't been touched in a way that's made her tremble for years. Riley is a carefree artist, living in the loft above her studio that smells like citrus and wine on the opposite end of town. She's free spirited, symbolic and a little bit sensual and not only with her art. She is chaos, passion and temptation all wrapped up in a satin or silk gown or denim overalls-there's no in between. Riley dreams of all consuming romance, like the true artist she is-even if loss taught her early that love doesn't always stay, and experience has only ever seemed to prove it true. Amelia's law firm is sponsoring a local art show where she somehow gets roped into "supporting the local creatives". When Amelia lays eyes on Riley as she's standing in front of her art piece, describing her work there is a spark of instant electricity. Banter turns into sexual tension that neither of them can deny. The question lies, is the passion enough to dull the chaos and can the chaos become the calm? Because for Amelia, getting close to Riley isn't just risky- it threatens everything she's spent years trying to keep hidden. And Riley? She has a habit of choosing people who don't stay... but something about Amelia makes her want to risk it anyway. So, the question isn't just whether passion can survive the chaos- It's whether Amelia can let herself be seen... and whether Riley can survive it if she does. Or will getting too close cost them more than either of them is willing to lose?![Signed, Sealed & Loved? [WLW]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/320790952-256-k407332.jpg)
