For artist Glory Hopkins, inheriting her aunt’s Harlem brownstone feels more like a curse than a blessing. But when she stumbles into Parkie de Groot, a savvy auction house appraiser, her unexpected windfall begins to look more promising as they form an immediate but undeniable connection. But complications soon arise: between Parkie’s struggle to overcome the heartache of past romances and Glory’s all-consuming artistic ambitions, secrets begin to be kept. And the deeper they dig into the mysteries of the inherited house, the more fraught their relationship becomes . . .

An evocative love story set in the high-stakes art and auction worlds in New York City, Lush Lives is about smart, driven women unafraid to take risks and fight for what they love.
