Art Lover

A witty and swoonworthy romantic novel about an ambitious art dealer who falls for the legendary, mysterious painter she’s determined to unmask—from Laura Chinn, the author of Counting the Days.

Art dealer Loni Fortin will do whatever it takes to make it in the art world—even if that means working for a cruel boss at a soul-crushing mega-gallery in London. Stuck on the middle rung of her career, with a non-existent love life, Loni is long overdue for a win.

Everything changes when she receives anonymous hate mail criticizing an article she wrote and questioning her integrity as an art dealer. What she first sees as a hurtful attack morphs into an opportunity when she notices that the handwriting looks strikingly similar to that of world-famous artist John Mackey—a painter who is ethically opposed to art dealers and refuses to work with them, but Loni sets out to change that.

One tiny problem: his identity is a secret. No one knows whos behind the famous name and breathtaking art. What begins as an attempt to track down the legend soon becomes an irresistible correspondence filled with flirty banter and intimate vulnerability from a stranger she can’t stop thinking about. As she draws closer to solving the mystery, the line between professional ambition and romantic desire begins to blur—and crossing it could cost her everything.
