If You Give an Artist a Killer Muse: A Dark Grumpy Sunshine Romance

Briar Reyes
People say I’m crazy. Unhinged. Maybe they’re right. As a proud member of the Charons, I serve justice with a pink, bedazzled dagger and a smile. Chaos is my playground, and nothing ever rattles me—

until I met Rurik Campbell.

The quiet, golden boy with paint-stained hands and eyes like a storm. The calm to my wildfire. My latest obsession. And I always get what I want. Even if it means tearing down his icy walls brick by brick.

Rurik Campbell
Solitude has always been my sanctuary. A place where art and quiet routines bring me peace. But everything changes when she barrels into my life. She’s wild, unpredictable, chaotic, her attention --

I can’t stand Briar Reyes.

And yet, there’s something about her fire, her relentless passion, that begins to chip away at my walls. She invades my carefully controlled world, pulling me into the beautiful mess of hers.
