Painting Him Mine by Ariella Zoelle

Love at first sight is rare, but finding it on some spare change? That’s a new kind of meet-cute. But will a whirlwind romance lead to true love?

A $10 bill defaced with a van Gogh portrait catches my eye right after the barista gives me my change. It’s bold, it’s brilliant…and it’s got a phone number scrawled underneath. What am I supposed to do—not text it?
That’s how I meet Ezra, a wildly talented artist with zero shame and a knack for turning our flirty conversation filthy before I’ve even had my second cup of coffee.
Our getting-to-know you texts quickly turn into the kind that wouldn’t pass the “show your grandma” test. By our first dinner date, it already feels like we’ve known each other forever. And when an impromptu art lesson in his studio turns into a hands-on exploration of the human form, I realize I’m falling for more than just his artistic talent.
Ezra’s fearless, creative, impossibly charming, and being with him feels like chasing the best kind of chaos. Is falling this fast reckless? Probably. But when it’s real, why slow down?

Painting Him Mine is a flirty standalone MM romance novella featuring an impulsive art lover, a shameless artist who can’t help turning everything into innuendo, and the masterpiece they create together. Contains: a coffee shop currency meet-cute, insta-love on high-speed, and proof that the best art doesn’t always hang in museums.
