Brian ‘Lucky’ Luciano is an unemployed construction worker looking for a job. The one he finds at Melton University is something he cannot resist applying for. Wanted is a male to pose nude for an art class. For the money it pays, he jumps at the chance and straight into a blast from his past.

Art professor Sonya Walker is stunned to see ‘Lucky’ Luciano walk into her classroom and strip to get started on his job. She did not put the ad up, but she sees potential in him and needs to break out of her own artistic and personal rut. Focused on clay pottery, she wants to expand her repertoire for an upcoming faculty art exhibit she must participate in. Seeing the form she has lusted after since high school, she hires him herself and explores him in more ways than one.

Lucky becomes her muse and she creates a series of life size clay nudes with him as her model. Along the way she discovers his hidden talent for wood crafting and together, they put together her exhibit. At the show, Sonya hopes for success. Instead she finds herself on the receiving end of a sex scandal. They risk loving each other and taking the leap into new creative territory together.

The author does a wonderful job of painting these characters lives and desires with her words. Their passion heats up the pages and their personal growth with each other endears you to them. This was a most enjoyable read.
