The nude

the long version

New to the simmering streets of Miami, globetrotting artist, Adam Straker, captivates photographer, Gwenyth Mason. Despite their differences, a mutual attraction boils over. Then Adam discovers exactly who Gwen is and abruptly hes back peddling as if shes suddenly become radioactive. Confiding in her mother about him is useless. A turbulent divorce from Gwens father has left Annalyns opinion of artists at rock bottom, especially artists as intensely focused as Adam. When Adam reevaluates his pursuit of Gwen, things seem to be back on even keel ... until Gwen stumbles across a stunning nude portrait curiously tucked away in his studio closet. Unearthed, the painting is labeled a modern masterpiece by critics and launches Adam to stardom.
