When I opened my nail salon across the street from Dom's bar, I jokingly offered to paint his nails to 'practice' my craft. Not that I needed to.

I wasn't expecting him to agree.

Three years later, I'm in the friend zone and have given up on him falling in love with me. But I get to see him for our monthly nail appointment and girls' night at the bar.

I'll take what I can get.

When there's an incident at the bar that leaves me shaken, he takes matters into his own hands and takes me home.

To his place.

Why would he do that?

Is this my opportunity to get out of the friend zone?

Velvet Varnish is a short and steamy, low-angst, friends to lovers novella with a whole ton of pining.

Each book is completely standalone, but occasionally characters from the rest of the series pop in to visit!
