The Temptress Touch — Lori Herter

Real-estate agent Marla Rosetti thought she knew what she wanted--a no-strings lifestyle. When Jack Whiting, the celebrated artist, asked her to marry him, she'd just laughed--and said no. It wasn't until Jack's passionate attention suddenly turned to icy indifference that she realized her mistake. Still bewitched by his blazing blue eyes and gentle touch, she began to plot her strategy to win him back. But Jack was more stubborn than she'd bargained for. Commissioning him to paint her portrait seemed the perfect way to challenge his indifference. He might think he didn't love her anymore, but Marla knew otherwise. And she would stop at nothing to change his mind.
