Scenic designer Carly Foster just started her last summer theatre job, and at the ripe old age of twenty-nine, she promised herself it would be a working vacation in the mountains of New Mexico - with no romance allowed. Sheās finished with the ādrama traumaā of theatre romance: her love life has never been beyond Act One because she canāt stay away from tortured artists. Not this time.
But luck is so not on her side: sheās stuck in a touristy ghost town with a charming bodyguard whoās flirting with her just to relieve his own boredom: Asher Day, the producerās brother recently returned from New York City with an armload of empty canvasses and a vanload of attitude. A sexy painter who wonāt talk about his past? So typical. But Carly is determined not to experience a repeat of her past relationships. If only Asher could live up to his wounded artist persona, she could kick him to the curb and stick by her goal to stay away from the type of guy who stomps on her spirit.
But the magnetic pull she feels from Asher is irresistible: he has inner strength and compassion, not to mention a heart-melting wink and kisses that leave her sleepless. If Carly canāt keep the drama in the theatre and out of her personal life, not only will she have bags under her eyes, but her heart will never survive the summer.
