About the book
Perhaps it was inevitable that the rich and arrogant Nicholas Andracas should decide that he wanted up and coming Danielle Smith to paint a portrait of his latest mistress. Perhaps it was equally inevitable that he should take one look at her and decide he wanted her, not just a portrait by her. However, Danielle knew something Nick did not, which made her immune to his charms. But what the forceful Nick Andracas wanted he got, whatever the cost to others, and himself.
