A New Beginning — E. Ayers

When Patrick Makowllen, a conservative investment adviser takes in the gifted artist Dallas Nixon, she destroys his budget, turns his life upside down, and tarnishes his sterling reputation. In spite of the chaos, she colors his life with more love and passion then he ever dreamed possible.

Thrown out of her home on her eighteenth birthday, Dallas winds up on Patrick's doorstep. He used to be the boy next door, but he'd grown up and moved downtown. All she needs is a safe place to stay. What he gives her is respect and a place to spread her wings.
