Boston Avant-Garde 6: Chiaroscuro
by Kaitlin Maitland
Lars Aasen uses his playboy image like armor. If he pretends he doesn’t care, nobody will ever guess he does. When his relationship with Mattie begins to blossom, he runs to Owen hoping the sexy bouncer will agree to keep it casual. Lars could have never guessed that he had found the two people he cannot live without.
Mattie is a quirky artist who wants nothing more than a home and a family of her own. She can’t help but wonder if her heart will ever recover from Lars’s abrupt exit from her life. Then a jaded bouncer named Owen intervenes when a local lunatic takes an unhealthy interest in Mattie. She can’t help but wonder if Owen might be her prince charming in a sarcastic disguise.
It doesn’t take Owen long to realize that he and Mattie both have unfinished business with Lars Aasen. Owen has dark secrets that force him to keep things casual, but he can’t stay away from Lars and Mattie. Fate threads the three lovers together, but an outside enemy threatens to rip them apart. They'll have to learn to see through the shadows to live together in the light.
