"Axel: Rooney Sullivan is sunshine incarnate. Warm, bright, always smiling, she's everything I'm not and the last person I have any business desiring. Desperate to hide a hopeless attraction, I've done everything possible to keep my distance...until a charades game gone wrong brought that to a grinding halt. Since then, steering clear of Rooney has been impossible. In a matter of months, she's kissed me speechless, commandeered my art career, and infiltrated not only my dreams but my home. The woman who was once avoidable has become the last thing I needed: temptingly within reach.... Rooney: Axel Bergman is a gorgeous grump who doesn't have the time of day for me. Thankfully, I've kept my crush under wraps...well, until I kissed him. Charades got away from me, okay? It was an accident! I haven't seen him since, which is for the best. My life is a mess, and the last thing I need is to embarrass myself further with the man who avoids me like that's his job rather than painting modern masterpieces. It seems the universe, however, has a different plan. When Axel and I unexpectedly find our paths--and problems--converging, a marriage of convenience proves the perfect solution. At least, until I'm facing my most serious problem yet: a once-loveless marriage of convenience that's inconveniently become a love match, after all. "--Publisher.
