The Original Between Us: A High-Heat Art-World Romance
Paloma Duarte knows how museums bury inconvenient truths beneath polished labels. Three years after one cost her career at Latham, she returns on ironclad terms to investigate a newly surfaced masterwork—and finds Darius Weller guarding the room.
Darius believed he could repair his old cowardice in private.
He was wrong.
Now the brilliant provenance investigator he never stopped wanting controls the finding, while he controls security around a painting worth a fortune.
Ten days before the gala, altered records, a hidden claimant, and an unauthorized move turn professional tension into a public crisis.
Working side by side reignites the desire neither of them ever managed to file away.
But Paloma will not trade her authority for love, and Darius must prove that loyalty means standing beside her before the truth becomes safe.
Tropes: second chance, workplace romance, forced proximity, interracial romance, romantic mystery
