THE STREET ARTIST AND THE CEO

Neither expects the undeniable chemistry that follows-or the way they challenge each other's worlds. As passion blurs the line between love and hate, Aria must decide if she can trust the man who represents everything she stands against, and Damian must choose whether to follow his heart or the empire he's built. In a city where every wall tells a story, theirs might be the most unforgettable of all.Complete
