Lila has a decision to make: settle down with her long-term boyfriend in his remote hometown or cling to her hopes of working as an artist and traveling the world.
She stalls by taking a job as the live-in nurse for Mr. Calloway, where she can spend hours each day painting in his mansion's studio.
When Eric Calloway returns home for his grandfather's eightieth birthday, he plans to be there for only ten days. He's not ready to face the reason he left. He's certainly not ready to resume running the family business.
That is, until he lays eyes on Lila.
Their awkward introduction soon gives way to mutual intrigue. Is it just his handsome face or that he looks at her like he could listen to her talk forever?
Will a secret from his past and her floundering relationship be enough to keep their feelings in check until Eric departs again?
The Art of Love is a steamy southern contemporary romance set in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. This is the first novella in The Calloway Brothers trilogy.
