Roman Harper is known for being three things:
A talented artist…
A charismatic loner…
And most notably, an unintentional heartbreaker.
Even though he doesn’t mean for women to fall in love with him, Roman Harper has left a string of broken hearts in his wake. But after a lie tore his world apart eight years ago, Roman doesn’t let anyone get too close to him. Sex is sex and love is…completely out of the question. Using the past as motivation, Roman pours his heart out onto his canvas. His heartache inspires some of his best work. And at twenty-eight years old, his art is finally getting the recognition that he’s always desired. But when Roman wakes up on the morning after his successful event with no recollection of who left the cryptic message on his bathroom mirror, everything changes.
"This is an amazing story. It is so different from anything else by Danielle Allen. That is what I love about her. You never know what type of story you will get until you read it. She has a way of holding you captive in the story. You don't want to put the book down. You devour it and then wish you could have read slower to savor the words written. This book takes you through loss, lies, betrayal, love and forgiveness. It will have you rooting that everything Roman wants comes true and that he doesn't let his past rule his future."

Sexy Roman Harper, an artist and a teacher. Yes, sexy, intelligent and talented oh and did I mention athletic?
So, why is this man still single? Well, because he has a huge burden on his shoulders. He is walking this beautiful world with a guilt so large its become a barrier in his life. He can't seem to move past the issues that took place in his life eight years ago. He's a prisoner of his past. This actually doesn't help his personal life but helps him thrive in his professional life. He's well on his way to making his mark in the art world.
This book has a very interesting little twist going on. I kid you not you will bust out your sexy detective outfit while you read. Can you say... STALKER?
Yes, our hot artist has an art show his friends have a celebration for him and then the fun begins! A creeper leaves him a note on his bathroom mirror but it doesn't stop there. The messages get creepier and who is it that is leaving him these messages.
While all this is going on he has women throwing themselves at him. He's not interested, he has eyes for one woman. A woman that has become his best friend and has become one of the closest people in his life. The thing about his friendship with Bianca is that he has only known her for three years. She has no clue about his past, about the burden he carries, his guilt. Should he tell her? will she understand his past? Will she run and not look back?
Bianca has feelings for Roman that she has been fighting for a long time. Feelings that she struggles from hiding. She hides them well but that sexual tension is there. Does he feel the same? But no time to think of feelings, he has a stalker and she wants to help find out who it is. He is on the rise in the art world, people are starting to notice him. He doesn't need negative attention and she wants to help him. She knows he's hiding something, but what? Will he ever trust her enough to tell her?
Roman finds ways of pushing Bianca away, he feels that due to his past he isn't worthy of love. But until he accepts the events that have already happened. Events that he can't change he will never let himself love and feel loved.
I had to keep reading because I needed to know who this crazy woman was, hell I needed to know what drove a woman to stalk a man. Well we get our answer and wow do we solve the mystery. Roman is shocked to find out who it is. But while he's out solving this mystery what happens to Bianca? Hmm.. Will our two sexually charged friends hook up?
I always enjoy Danielle's books. I'm always excited to see when she has something out that is new because I know she will get my attention and she did this time. Can't wait to see what she gives us next.
