Nothing?s more important to twenty-five-year-old Zara Kissette than making it in the art world. When a fire destroys her paintings, she needs a quick hit of cash for supplies, and a way to rekindle her creativity. She reluctantly returns to a lucrative gig as a fantasy princess/face painter, where she meets a hot, divorced dad who could bring a spark to her life?or ruin everything. Brendan Stewart is doing all he can to keep the world a soft and stable place for his beloved little girl. The last thing he needs is a relationship to balance with the rest of his life. That is, until a gorgeous princess shows up to paint faces at his daughter?s birthday party. Their romance is all cake and bubbles?and lots of steamy sex?until Zara betrays Brendan's trust for her shot at the gallery, and Brendan takes her career into his hands and, well, screws it up. If they can?t make peace with each other?s mistakes, they risk losing the one person who loves them for who they truly are.
