Book Description
Can the silver fox hotelier and young artist close the gap between their decades and learn to paint outside of the lines together? Rory This is my last chance. I’ve got one month to make a living from my art, or I’ve got to join the family business. That’s been the deal since I started college. Sure, I may have extended that deal by getting more degrees related to work. No one had to know I was filling my time with art classes on the side. But now there’s no more extensions. I’ve got to make some real money by the end of this summer or fall in line. Kenji I’m in charge now. My father opened a modest Japanese style inn decades ago, and now that he’s retired I’ve gone all in on every upgrade I could get my hands on to make it the luxury ryokan I’ve always thought it could be. The finishing touch was hiring an artist in town that was as hungry as me to ensure my vision would work. Everything is going according to plan, but I didn’t anticipate how thirsty working with Rory would make me. A decade apart, they’re both still dealing with family expectations that guide their lives. Can they close the gap between their ages and paint outside of the lines together, or will they live in their family shadows forever? Welcome to the diverse small town of Jacaranda Bay, where the doors are always open, cinnamon rolls are spicy, and you'll always get your happily-ever-after in the end. This book can be read alone, and is a part of The Unbuttoned Alpha Male Series. More series set in this small town are: Single Dad Holiday Heat, Firefighters of Jacaranda Bay Series, Single Dad Holiday Heat, and Small Town Steamy Cinnamon Rolls Series.

Book Description
Color Me is the story of Johnathan Black, a painter who suffers from schizophrenia. Throughout the drama, his psychoses are represented by percussion and dance. The play follows Johnathan’s growth over the course of eighteen years, from the onset of his mental illness through his triumph over insanity as he accepts a position teaching art at a nearby community college. The play begins when Johnathan is only twelve years of age and the Black family is just finishing their evening meal. Johnathan’s birthday is arriving, and his parents have decided to give him weekly painting lessons to encourage his young talent. Susan Black is pregnant and will soon give birth to Johnathan’s only sibling, Anne Marie. Up in his room after dinner, as Johnathan finishes his homework, he interacts with the demons that will haunt him throughout his youth. His subconscious mind is plagued by nine demons altogether: one black, one white, and one for each color of the spectrum. When Act Two begins, Johnathan is a grown man, hospitalized on an inpatient psychiatric ward. The demons are with him in the hospital, filling the roles of the hospital staff as well as other patients on the ward. All the demons are progressively transformed from the colors of Johnathan’s subconscious mind to realistic, tangible characters with whom Johnathan interacts as he becomes grounded in reality. At the conclusion of Act Three, Johnathan, having accepted a job offer to teach art at a local community college, proposes to Claire.
