After a divorce that has left him shattered and without inspiration, internationally famous painter, Frankie Lloyd, decides to set off for France, to stay at a small community of expat artists in a picturesque rural area. Preparing his parents' studio for the new artist, Tony Anderssen is disappointed to find out that he is straight and recovering from a divorce. Normally Tony ends up being a model for visiting artists who rent his family's cottage and studio, but this time it is totally unexpected when Mr. Lloyd takes him on as the artist's very first male model and muse. As the two grow closer, Frankie discovers aspects of himself he did not know even existed, and wonders if he is prepared for his first gay relationship yet, or if he is moving too fast. Tony, used to being treated as disposable by his lovers and having prepared to move to Paris to pursue a career in fashion, finds himself entranced by how loving and gentle Frankie is, and second-guessing his decision to leave the art world for good. As life throws hurdles in their way and the two lovers explore who they truly are deep down, are they ready for each other, or is their romantic relationship going to end when the work is done?Please Note: This book contains adult language and steamy adult activities, it is intended for 18+ Adults Only.
