Ashton Morgan

An emotional, slow burn contemporary romance that can be read as a standalone. Damaged. Drifter. Genius. After surviving severe trauma, Camden Walker has spent his life being trapped by labels. Now, at age twenty-seven, he's fine being the gifted artist not wired for a world that's left him scarred. All he wants is to break free and find the beauty that's been stolen from him. Smart. Successful. Painfully ordinary. Olivia Price is used to being invisible and living in the shadow of her younger sibling. The fact that Olivia is secretly in love with her sister's boyfriend is just another example of craving what Claire takes for granted. But when Claire dumps Camden without a thought, Olivia can't let go of the haunted green eyes she's loved for so long-especially when they finally see her too. Because maybe it takes the one not wired for this world to appreciate the one who's been ignored by it. And maybe it takes the only person who's ever understood the wounded artist to show him he's as radiant as his art.

Camden Walker

Nash Ellis knows music. Producing, performing, writing-if it involves the creative process he's there for it. He knows nothing about copy machines. Or financial reports. Or anything related to the stuck-up business world his best friends have been chasing since they were kids. But Nash also needs money, so when his roommate gets him a paid internship at Reedweather Media, he reluctantly agrees. At least his know-it-all intern competitor is kind of cute in a nerdy-librarian sort of way-especially when she's being tormented by an angsty rocker she can't stand. The only thing Paige Andrews hates more than failure? Nash Ellis. She has little patience for incompetence and zero tolerance for indifference. He clearly doesn't belong in their corporate world, so why does he insist on ruining her dream job? And the worst part-he's not what he seems. In fact, it's all the things he's hiding behind those electric blue eyes that make him straight-up captivating in an ironic-slacker sort of way. But their smoldering friction bursts into open flames when the feuding interns are forced into a high-stakes mission that requires intimate knowledge of the music industry. Yep, what could go wrong when the least-qualified candidate to ever walk the halls of a major corporation becomes their only hope of success? 'Play Smart' is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone. Book #5 in the Work For It series, Educated Romance World, Penny Reid Book Universe.
