The Muse

Arden MacCarren can t afford to lose control. Her family s investment house has failed, their professional reputation is all but destroyed, and it s up to Arden to hold the line. The only distraction she allows herself is a weekly drawing class where she can forget everything. Then she meets Seth Malone. When he poses in her class, strong, mysterious, and unbearably sexy, she can't resist him. The only thing she can do is keep it purely physical no emotions, no strings, and definitely no telling. During his last tour as a Marine, Seth lost his best friends to an IED. He has a duty to look after his buddies' survivors. All he allows himself are the stolen moments with Arden. But as he's drawn into Arden s battle with her demons, he comes face-to-face with his own.
