Lucky In Love #1

He says she’s a nuisance. She thinks he’s a jerk. Together they might be the perfect match.

Riordan Faraday is about to reach his breaking point. He’s got art classes to teach, a needy mum to care for, and most importantly, a painting to finish. But without time or inspiration, he hasn’t been able to paint a thing and it’s driving him mad. So when a silly American girl shows up on his doorstep with a wild proposal, he shoots her down perhaps a bit more harshly than she deserves…but it’s for the best.

Samantha Meyer—Sam, to her friends—is on a mission to find her late grandmother’s necklace.

But she wasn’t counting on a sexy, surly painter to stand in her way.
