To save my nana's house, I had to accept the auction. Knox Freshly back home from pursuing my culinary dreams, my friend auctions me off as an in-home chef for his son for an entire month. What I didn't expect was Lucy. He's an artist, every bit as rich and proper as his father, but what I saw behind his eyes made me want to break past his barriers. Lucy paints his soul on the canvas—his pain, his heart, and the agony I see in his shaking fingers. When I somehow let him past my walls, he cradles my secrets close. I want to keep him, but can either of us survive in the world of Boston's rich elite? Auctioned to the artist is an MM instalove between a painter and a chef. Expect angst, family drama, strangers-to-lovers pining, forced proximity, and an impromptu camping trip on Valentine's Day.
