Flowers for Him

By Marie Sexton and Rowan Speedwell

He wanted to learn about beauty. He never expected to learn about love.

Billionaire Chandler Harrison's third marriage is now history, and he's left with his ex-wife's parting barb, 'You have no appreciation of beauty.' Determined to prove her wrong, Chandler hires artist Neil Sweeney to add a mural to his office wall. He doesn't even care what the picture is, as long as it's beautiful.

Neil Sweeney is an ex-tagger, a free spirit, and a bit of a hippie. He's never met anybody as uptight as Chandler, but when it comes to warming up Chandler's cold, stark office, Neil has plans involving more than art.

Chandler begins to find himself strangely moved by the mural developing on his office wall. He's especially moved by the artist himself. Chandler has denied his homosexual urges for most of his life, but it isn't long before Neil begins introducing Chandler to all kinds of new things. As Neil's masterpiece comes to life, so does Chandler's appreciation for art, colour, and the best kind of beauty of all—love.

Reviews for Flowers for Him

[Kezia Shugrue · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Lovely story with just the right balance of romance and lust. A feast for the senses, though I do wish I could have spent more time with the characters.

[Estarianne · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I think it's a bit overdone at times, but it is a formula romance with more feeling than average, and I do like feeling! Very sweet, and I really liked that the authors skipped the usual "I can't be gay!" posturing, it set the story apart from most using this trope.
