He hired her to paint his walls.
He didn't expect her to undo the ones he built around himself.
Mia needs the commission. Nik needs his life back.
She's a struggling artist fighting for her future.
He's a reclusive billionaire haunted by a past he won't talk about.
They clash over art, control, and silence.
They push each other's boundaries-professionally and personally.
And beneath the tension, something deeper begins to surface.
But attraction isn't the real risk.
For Mia, choosing him could derail the career she's fought to build.
For Nik, wanting her means surrendering control-and trusting that staying present won't destroy them both.
This is not a story about easy love.
It's about restraint. Repair. Choice.
A slow-burn, emotionally rich contemporary romance featuring:
Enemies-to-lovers tension
Forced proximity
A damaged hero healing without being fixed
An artist heroine choosing herself
Explicit intimacy earned through connection, not impulse
Perfect for readers who want substance with their steam-and intimacy that lingers long after the last page.
