Rooney Sullivan is sunshine incarnate. Warm, bright, always smiling, she's the last person I have any business desiring. I've done everything possible to keep my distance... until a charades game gone wrong brought that to a grinding halt.

Since then, steering clear of Rooney has been impossible, and the woman who was once avoidable has become the last thing I needed: temptingly within reach.

Rooney

Axel Bergman is a gorgeous grump who doesn't have the time of day for me. Somehow, I've kept my crush hidden ... well, until I kissed him.

My life is a mess, and the last thing I need is to embarrass myself further with the man who avoids me like it's his job rather than painting modern masterpieces . But it seems the universe has a different plan as we unexpectedly find our paths - and problems - converging. And we've come up with one very unexpected solution...

A sunshine and grump, marriage of convenience romance about a shy artist on the autism spectrum, and a smiley smartypants who has a chronic IBD.
