Two Houses

DEBUT Art auction house rivals Priya Gupta and Gavin Carlyle have known each other their entire lives, and each has been thwarted by the other at some point in the past. A wealthy art collector throws them together again when he accepts proposals to sell some of the valuable pieces in his collection, but there is a catch—Priya and Gavin must stay a week at the owner’s home for their auction proposals to be considered. Priya hopes to win the auction rights, so she can finally prove to her father what she brings to the family business, and her entire professional future rides on this deal. Gavin wants to win this deal for his own family’s auction house, and he always looks forward to a chance to compete with Priya. A competition ensues, and it brings Priya and Gavin closer than they ever imagined. When an underhanded deal derails Priya’s plans, she must confront those closest to her and decide what—and whom—she wants most in her life.
