Blurb:

In Manhattan’s glitzy gallery scene love and art are perilous games.

Will Sienna dare to play?

All too soon, artist Sienna Karr will graduate art school and be flung out into Manhattan’s glamorous but cutthroat gallery scene. Luckily, she’s just met Dave Hightower, heir to the hippest gallery ever. He’s asked her on a date, and offered to introduce her to the gallery owner, his intimidating aunt Lydia. Sienna’s excited! Now she’ll be able to climb the ranks and make those all-important art connections.

Trouble is, she’s falling hard for the sexy live drawing model, Erik, whose sizzling green eyes seem to pierce right into her soul. Dare she risk losing those potential art contacts for love? Erik insists that Sienna is a real talent and her painting stands out above all the others. But she worries that he whispers this come-on line to every pretty art student who flocks around him during breaks. And her friends worry, is Erik up to her pay grade? What kind of guy chooses modeling for a living? Who is he, really? Her choice may be her ruin—or not—but she must decide fast. Everything in Sienna’s super-organized life is turning to terrifying yet sweet chaos.

Excerpt:

It’s reassuring to line up my brushes and paints in perfectly straight lines on my palette. Though I know that in the process of painting, they’ll end up in multi-hued blobs. I wonder if I’ll feel compelled, as I usually do, to keep realigning them.

A few people filter in, and we say hi. Still no Erik. Then I see him. Be still, my heart! He’s even better looking in his street clothes. Is that even possible? He has on worn jeans and aviator glasses, a grass-green sweater that matches his eyes, and brown boots. Dave, in his Chelsea art-district-business mode, would not approve of the scuffs on Erik’s boots or his wild windblown hair, but I sure do. It’s funny that I do, considering my affection for order. Normally I’d be mentally combing Erik’s hair into place. Oh, wow. He’s waving and heading over my way!

Is this against the model-student code of ethics? Heck, the teacher’s not here to give any disapproving looks, and I’m in my mid-twenties, not a high-school teen. Erik slips beside me and takes another look at my portrayal of him while I drink in his spicy lime aftershave and insanely sexy-guy vibe.

“Do you still like it?” I ask uncertainly.

“It’s gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as you.”

If anyone else had just said this to me, I’d be way creeped out and respond with a cynical snicker, but somehow Erik gets away with it. “I hope I do you justice today with the second sitting.”

“I’m sure you will,” he answers. “Yesterday I was looking at other people’s work, and by far, you have the most talent here with figures. Probably other things too,” he adds with a gleam in his eyes. Uh, yeah! That means he didn’t like Taffy’s work as much. I just hope he doesn’t like her boobs better than mine.

Blurbs in praise of the book:

“Kitsy Clare paints a provocative picture with words – a sexy montage of art, beauty, lust and love as colorful as any artist’s canvas.”  -Share my Destiny, romance book blogger

“A captivating and sensual work of art!” -Jaycee DeLorenzo, author of The Truths About Dating and Mating

“Model Position is sexy, suspenseful and oh, so hard to put down. Kitsy Clare mixes a skillful, fast-moving story as Sienna, a talented but uptight art student takes on the trendy New York art scene.  She’s caught between the pull of ambition and the possibility of steamy, but true-blue love in the form of Erik, a delicious male model with no connections.  Or is he true?  And is Erik really all he seems to be?”

-Helen Mallon, author of Indecent Exposure & other short stories;
