When a socially awkward fae painter desperately needs a model to master the male form for her dream project, she strikes an unlikely bargain with Monty—the charming matchmaker who once broke her heart. He'll pose for her paintings if she agrees to be his real-life test subject for his modern courtship advice column, and what starts as a transactional arrangement quickly becomes dangerously intimate. As painting sessions blur into flirting lessons and their rekindled friendship crackles with unexpected chemistry, both must decide if they're brave enough to turn their carefully controlled spark into something real. This witty, steamy fantasy romcom perfectly blends the romantic scheming of Bridgerton with the delicious tension of a modern-day transformation story—all wrapped up in a fae-filled world where bargains are binding, but hearts are even more unpredictable.
