Previously published as Passionate Art by Danielle A. Calise.
Amelia Brighton has spent years turning the things she cannot say into paintings. Now her work is finally attracting the attention she fought for-until one of her canvases is vandalized and the damage points toward someone inside the art world she trusted.
Raymond Sullivan is used to solving problems. He has money, influence, and a dangerous habit of stepping in before anyone asks. His instinct to protect Amelia draws them together, but the closer they become, the harder it is for Amelia to tell the difference between being supported and being managed.
Then an old love resurfaces. A gallery owner tightens his grip. And Amelia discovers the vandalism is only one piece of a much larger betrayal.
To protect her art, Amelia will have to expose the person who has been shaping her career from the shadows-and do it without surrendering control of her own future. To keep her, Raymond will have to learn that loving an artist does not mean holding the brush.
Passionate Art is a contemporary romance with romantic-suspense elements about desire, ambition, betrayal, and the kind of love that makes room for a woman to remain fully herself.
