A simple icebreaker turns dangerously tempting when respectable married artist Anna is paired with the impressively hung Callum for a private nude portrait session in the castle turret.

When Anna arrives at the mist-shrouded Blackthorn Castle in the Scottish Highlands for a week-long artist residency, she expects nothing more than quiet days with her sketchpad and a chance to escape her predictable marriage.

But when she's paired with Callum in a private turret room for the nude portrait assignment, the air thick with firelight and unspoken tension, her loyalty begins to crumble. What starts as artistic curiosity spirals into her very first act of betrayal.

On her knees before this younger man, her hands exploring every thick, impressive inch of his powerful body, she discovers a raw, intense pleasure she never knew existed. The way he stretches and fills her completely awakens a deep, hungry craving inside her, a size queen desire her gentle husband could never satisfy. Guilt floods her with every stolen touch, yet the deeper she surrenders to his dominant presence, the more she aches for the kind of passion that will ruin her for her old life forever.

The first book in the Blackthorn Castle: Artists in Residence series follows only Anna as she begins her slow, addictive descent into becoming a cheating wife, where every stolen encounter behind the castle's ancient stone walls pulls her deeper into desires she can no longer control.
