Elena Serrano has spent her career mending what time tried to erase. As a museum conservator, she brings fractured paintings back to life—steady hands, invisible presence, unshakable control. Until the day her quiet expertise collides with Lucas Harrington, the museum’s new director and the living embodiment of every reason she’s learned to stay invisible.

When a priceless portrait arrives damaged and expectations tighten around her like varnish, Elena’s world shifts. Lucas isn’t what she expected—he’s careful where others command, patient where power usually presses. Together, they uncover hidden layers, both in the art and in each other, while navigating a storm of scrutiny, politics, and press that threatens to undo everything they’ve restored.

What begins as professional respect becomes an unexpected intimacy—built not from grand gestures but from long hours, steady breath, and trust earned one confession at a time. Their attraction hums beneath every exchange, a current as inevitable as it is unspoken. But when the museum’s headlines turn personal, they must decide what’s worth preserving: reputation or something more enduring.

A Body of Work is a deeply human romance about care and imperfection—about two people learning that repair is not weakness, and that beauty doesn’t come from being flawless, but from being seen.

Readers who love slow-burn connection, intelligent banter, and emotional precision will find a love story that glows quietly, like light through restored gold leaf. Intimate, witty, and profoundly sincere, this is a novel about art, love, and the courage to stop hiding.
