I write new adult romance. In my newest Art of Love novel, Private Internship, artist Sienna lands an internship with bad-boy sculptor, Caz Mason. He’s rich, handsome and talented, but he also likes to play games and test his interns, sometimes to their breaking points. He has a deep, dark secret but by the time Sienna starts to uncover it, it’s way too late to turn back. Here are three short passages that describe his sexy appeal:
- Caz torques his well-toned body and, in the slick leap of a panther, releases his leg hold on the chain and lands on the floor facing us. He’s barefoot and panting.
Caz. Oh, my God. As he stalks toward us to the shrieks of Metallica’s newest track I understand why Tommy is mooning like a kid with a schoolyard crush. I understand why Caz has a reputation as a lady-killer. And it’s so damn easy to forget in this one moment that this A-hole art dick has just fired my best friend, Harper.
- He locks his rich, hot-chocolate eyes on me, and studies my every curve and angle, seems to be piercing right through my skin into the alleys of my mind and heart. Curious, he’s so curious. I sense him asking where I’m from and why it took me so long to find him, and what kind of art I do, and whether I’ve ever sold it or gotten a review, or who I know, who I hang out with, and how much experience I’ve had in galleries, in school, in the world, in bed. My neck heats up. Did I just think that?
- “Come up for air,” he advises. “I’ve got some special victuals and a game for later.” Victuals is a good old Chaucerian term for food, ha! I guess Caz has gone to college. But more worrisome games? Meh.
I breathe in the nutty steam of his gourmet coffee, and my mouth is watering at an earthy, spicy aroma that I can’t quite identify.
Caz escorts me into the studio kitchen. I notice that he’s put on a lavender shirt that accentuates the molten tones in his hair. He motions me to sit in one of the chairs and even pushes it in for me. This rebel knows some good manners.
The book blurb:
Sugar’s not so sweet and secrets can be deadly … especially with matters of the heart
Sienna’s bestie, Harper warned her not to intern for famous bad boy artist, Casper Mason. After all, he just fired Harper who helped Sienna get the interview. But the moment Sienna sees Casper—or Caz—sweaty and practically shirtless and swinging from chains while he works on his sculpture, she’s hooked. He’s the richest, hottest artist in New York, and he lives in the fabulous Williamsburg Sugar Factory. But he’s also an incorrigible game-player, who seems to relish testing Sienna’s loyalty with a string of unsettling tests.
She knows she should get away fast. But by the time Sienna sneaks into his locked storage room and begins to unearth his dark and terrifying secret, she’s fallen way too hard for the handsome, charismatic Caz.
