Synopsis

More than meets the eyeDriven and ambitious, commercial-art buyer Avery Roberts always trusts first impressions, whether it's art...or men. Sexy Quentin Davis might make her pulse race, but the smooth, laid-back charmer is not her type. Then a secret about her past comes to light, leaving her vulnerable, shattered--and turning to Quentin for strong shoulders and sympathy. One kiss, and fierce attraction takes over, leaving first impressions in a haze of sensual bliss.Quentin's focus was always on the next assignment, leaving no room for long-term relationships or commitment.Now sleek, sophisticated Avery has him looking beyond his camera and his career. But as love and aspirations collide, heartbreak seems inevitable, until Quentin realizes he can't picture a life--or a future--without Avery in it.
