The Painter and the Patrons

Peter Wexler just wanted to paint for a living. Instead, his art degree left him bagging groceries and waiting tables to fend off a mountain of debt. A spark of hope comes in the form of Theo and Jade Williams, a young, wealthy couple who are the first to commission a portrait from him since he graduated. Little does he know they want more from him than just a painting.

Theo and Jade aren't in love. Despite their parent's attempts to groom them for each other, Theo's sexuality and Jade's dislike of arrogant alpha males made their relationship a lost cause. The only vow they follow in their arranged marriage is to help each other hide their various "infidelities" from their families. They try to keep their love lives separate, but it becomes impossible when both of them fixate on Peter.

The competition for Peter's affection is raging out of control. A conflict between these powerful magnates was bound to have casualties, but they soon realize that the one they're desperate to win over is being hit the hardest by their war. If Jade and Theo want to save Peter's heart and future, they'll have to learn to compromise in ways they never thought were possible.
