Sunlight blazes on an empty canvas.
Arctic winds gather snowflakes on a frosty window ledge as a statuesqueform appears. She moves past a table littered with papers. Headlines splash news of murder, but it’s the photo of another young woman with features mirroring her own that draws her attention.
A different headline peeks from underneath the Anchorage Times.
Wealthy Businessman Dies in Car Crash … BLACK WIDOW SUSPECTED!
Graphic images swirl through her head and a tear rolls down her cheek. She drifts toward an easel and a trembling hand dips a sable brush into a palette of paint.
The Westminster doorbell chimes. The brush slips and blood-red paint stains the floor.
Detective Steven Quaid waits. His Tlingit, Indian features carved from granite, mask his Irish passion …
Will he arrest her this time?
All fingers point to her guilt.
But, is she guilty of this cunning plot? Or, just a victim of circumstantial evidence?
The door opens …
His eyes lock on hers …
His heart races …
Hers skips a beat.

Someone stole the Weeping Widow. The priceless artwork is gone, ripped from its place on the wall and leaving only broken glass behind. The pride of Whitehill Museum and Art Gallery fell victim to heists in the night, and the museum is determined to find the painting and nail the culprit. She's been labelled the main suspect after being found at the scene of the crime. He's been hired to protect Whitehill and keep the rest of the art safe. Both with a job to do at the museum, and both determined to fix broken reputations. But the biggest question of all haunts the exhibits they roam: who stole the Weeping Widow? They painted her the villain. He's learning art is open for interpretation. -------------------------- "Art is to be seen, not touched." His breath curled next to my ear. "But I'd do anything to touch you." "Are you saying I'm art?" My heart knew no limit as it pulsed in my throat, right where his lips began to hover.

As they navigate their roles and desires, their relationship heats up, blending thrilling crime narratives with steamy romance.

Asher's voice was laced with amusement, his eyes twinkling mischievously. "I glow every day. You just failed to see it," I replied with a teasing smirk, rolling my eyes in mock exasperation. "Oh, I know! You're glowing because you're an angel on Earth-" he started, his tone full of charm. "And this angel will be taking the window seat," I cut him off with a laugh, seeing through his playful tactics. Asher feigned disappointment, his lips forming a pout. "But baby, I wanted to enjoy the view with my favorite person." I leaned in closer, a playful glint in my eyes. "You'll still enjoy the view, just from the aisle seat this time." He chuckled, shaking his head in mock defeat. "Alright, angel, you win this round." I grinned triumphantly, feeling a rush of excitement. "Just this round? I always win, you know." He leaned even closer, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Well, maybe I let you win because I like seeing that victorious smile on your face." My cheeks flushed at his words, and I playfully nudged his shoulder. "Smooth talker." He winked, his gaze holding mine. "Only for you, angel."
