It’s not every day that you get knocked off your moped by a rockstar. When avant-garde artist Evie Winters finds herself contracted to do a sculpture of rock star, Byron Logan, she almost refuses. After all their first meeting was hardly auspicious: a slanging match in a London street after his limo ran her off the road. Byron clearly has issues, but Evie desperately needs the money. And then there’s the minor complication of their chemistry. Despite his outrageous behaviour, Evie finds the wolfishly attractive Byron keeps hitting her hot buttons. Byron isn’t indifferent to Evie either. She may be a pink-haired she-devil, but she happens to be a gorgeous one. And she’s not afraid to stand up to his temper tantrums. With his life in chaos and his mood swings out of control, Byron soon finds that being around Evie makes him feel a whole lot better than the pills his psychiatrist keeps doling out. Thrown together to work on the project in Byron’s stately home hideout in Cornwall, sparks fly as they continually rub each other up the wrong way. But as they spend more time together, something changes: Byron and Evie soon find out that what draws them together goes way deeper than physical attraction. Because when you really get to know the essence of someone, there’s always a chance that hate will turn to love—and that opening up about their pasts could challenge both Evie and Byron to face up to a whole lot more than they bargained for.

She wasn't incredibly beautiful but she was attractive, probably somewhere around the eighty-fifth percentile. She was smart, kind, honest, and good with animals.But the most beautiful thing about her was her heart, for it was made of the purest of golds. Unfortunately, she wasn't very good at taking care of it, and over the years, it lost its shine. Because every time she met a prince, she believed him to be perfect--strong but gentle, brave, and caring. So, she would show him her heart and give it to him to hold, thinking he would take care of it.What she hadn't yet realized was that there was a curse put on her...at some time...by someone. And the curse was this: The moment the woman gave her heart away and kissed the prince--believing it to be true love--the prince would begin to change. Sometimes slowly, other times quickly. But he always turned into a frog. And although the frog would give her heart back to her, each time it was a little more worn, a little less brilliant.But the woman didn't give up trying to find a prince who would remain a prince, knowing that somewhere out there was someone who could heal her heart and break the curse by remaining a prince after she kissed him.Then one day, she finally understood the curse's power. No one could heal her, she would never find a prince, and the curse would never be broken.And so, clutching what was left of her heart, she gave up her search.
