Sculpting David [Kindle Edition]

Nya Rawlyns (Author)

Book Description

David Michaels, heir to an artistic legacy--his parents, Adrian Michaels, premier sculptor, and Elena Stefanova, patrician Russian impressionist--breaks away to start a Gallery in the shark infested waters of NYC's art world. David and his General Manager/mistress, Janet, approach Jacqueline Maurer, the talented daughter of Adrian's archrival, to showcase the Gallery's opening salvo. Jackie will not disrespect her Papa, the redoubtable Jacques Maurer, and declines.

David pursues Jacqueline using a fake identity and masquerading as a fellow student. Intent on pressing his case, he loses himself in his art and the incomparable talent of his prey. David volunteers to model in her oils class, leaving nothing to chance and nothing to the imagination.

Jacqueline has complications of her own--a relationship with her swimming coach--and a plea from Jacques to come home to Paris to work in his studio. Torn between opposing factions and unsure of her heart, Jacgueline embraces her dark yearnings to produce the image that will ultimately captivate David.

Elena Stefanova must enter stage left to manipulate the warring muses, star crossed lovers and irascible enemies. Romance smiles wisely as David's creation, The Raging Bull, pulls free of its confines.

More About the Author

Writer, editor and hopeless romantic. I've lived on a sailboat on the Chesapeake Bay, ridden more than 1000 miles in trail competitions on horseback, and been owned by two Newfoundlands. I'm staff for a herd of cats and a herd of horses.

I've never met a potato chip I didn't like and I weight lift - which is probably fortuitous as I really like potato chips.

I love happy endings, even when I have to make them up. Optimist by day and by night...
