Love's Portrait — Kim Shaw

Savvy Washington, D.C., gallery owner Azure Monroe is determined to keep her talents and passion for painting hidden. Ensuring other artists' success with exclusive openings and special events is where she feels most secure. Until Amir Swift enters her private studio and conveys his appreciation for her work. Suddenly an all-consuming desire propels her to put her special touch to canvas, as well as to the body of sexy, confident Amir.

Amir has survived D.C.'s toughest streets with one goal: to achieve success by any means necessary. But he soon finds that Azure's strength and unshakable sense of purpose are challenging his way of life, and threaten to reveal his deepest secrets. But destiny may be on his, and Azure's, side as two people learn how to move beyond the past -- and find a happiness that will last a lifetime.
