Painted Red

Rosaline Reed has lived her entire life fitting perfectly into dark spaces. Knowing her place, being content with staying unseen. But everyone has their breaking point. Hers sends her across the country and into the arms of a brooding, green-eyed artist. He makes her feel raw, open in a way that she is completely unfamiliar with. Getting caught up with him is the last thing she should be doing but she knows she won’t be able to resist for long. The same way she knows she’ll never be able to fully regret it.


Dex Quinn has always kept his distance, preferring to stay far away from emotional attachments. He keeps his circle as small as possible to ward off the bull*hit. His intense, aloof nature is put to the test when Rosaline shows up at his studio looking for a job. She’s got secrets lurking between those wide eyes, secrets that she’s hell bent on keeping. Dex has no intentions of letting her walk away from him. One taste and he’s a changed man. One that she can’t hide or run from anymore.
