SKETCHING HEARTS
Updated at Sep 25, 2026, 09:00
Everyone has an opinion about Chloe Bennett. Her family thinks she's wasting her life drawing childish pictures, and she has started to wonder if they are right. At twenty-three, she relies on humor and sarcasm to hide her deep insecurities. Then, one humiliating night at an elite New York art mixer, Chloe encounters an arrogant stranger on a balcony. Their sharp argument forces her to question why she lets mediocre people define her. She has no idea the stranger is Julian Vance—the ruthless, powerful art director whose single nod can launch or bury a career. Desperate to prove everyone wrong, Chloe lands a low-level assistant job at Julian's elite agency. He expects an unqualified amateur; she expects an unbearable perfectionist. But when an agency emergency causes Chloe's private sketchbook to fall into Julian's hands, the raw, breathtaking genius inside changes everything. Suddenly pushed into the center of a prestigious city exhibition, long nights in the studio turn arguments into fascination—sparking an intense, forbidden workplace attraction that threatens to risk the career she fought so hard to build.
