Mona Lisa St. James made a deathbed guarantee that she’d do anything to save lots of her mother’s art gallery. Unfortunately, not merely is The Crimson painted red, but it’s in the red.

Just like she realizes she’s no choice but to market it, a mysterious man comes in after closing period and makes her an offer: He’ll conserve The Red if she agrees to submit to him for the period of one year.

The man is handsome, English, and terribly tempting-but surely her mother didn’t mean for Mona to market herself to a stranger. Then again, she did guarantee to accomplish anything to save The Red .

Contains mature themes.
