Henry - Holly Falls Billionaires, #1

AVAI've been hired to paint a portrait of a Holly Falls billionaire, Henry Hayes. There's genuine warmth in his smiles and when he is with me, he seems lighter. But I'm only a nobody artist, nothing special in my paint-flecked leggings and oversized shirt. What could he see in me?When he asks me out, I pounce at the chance. I want to know this man better. Except when he starts to buy me things, I panic.
Will others think I'm a gold digger? HENRYI've been trying to find the elusive Ava Sparrow's art around the whole United States and am shocked to learn that my friend comissioned a painting from her in my town, Holly Falls!Will she see me for who I am instead of my fortune?Once she agrees to go out with me, I can't contain myself, I want to spoil her. She deserves to thrive in every way possible and this way I can provide.
When she leaves me during a trip to the jewelry store, I worry. Will the money separate us? This is the first short story in Holly Falls Verse. It's sweet and steamy, and can be read under an hour!
