I fucking love her. Haha, or not. I'm honestly not so sure. But what I'm sure of is that I'm obsessed with her and her art. Addicted even. She's a beauty that's for certain, just like her paintings. And ever since I saw her, I spent all my waking free time watching her, waiting to make my first move. She will be mine. I'll make this little painter mine; to paint me like her darkest thoughts.

Margot Taylor thought she had it all: a thriving restaurant and a fiance she adored. But her world crumbled when her fiance abruptly cancelled their wedding and claimed ownership of her cherished restaurant. With her career in tatters and her heart broken, Margot is forced to start over.
Enter Nathan Davis, her loyal best friend and a single dad chasing big dreams of his own. As a partner in the multibillion-pound auto business, Nathan offers her a lifeline-a chance to open a new eatery on the grounds of his new mechanic shop.
As Margot pours her heartbreak into a new dream, her friendship with Nathan deepens into something much more electric. But their growing happiness is threatened when Nathan's ex-wife returns, determined to take their daughter away and upend the new couple's relationship.
