The Rebel Effect

"In the heart of the storm, a rebel and a dreamer find a love that will never let go."

Landon 

I’ve always thrived on breaking the rules—living for the thrill of the deal, the chase of rare treasures, and the art of negotiation. As one of the most notorious art dealers in the business, I don’t just sell masterpieces—I control the market, bending it to my will. 

Then Claire came crashing into my life like an unframed masterpiece. The quiet librarian with fire in her eyes and a wit sharper than any collector’s bid. She’s everything I’m not—steady, deliberate, bound by rules. 

Fate forced us together, two opposites locked in a battle of wills. Her calm against my chaos. Her secrets running deeper than any forgery I’ve ever uncovered. But with every clash, I feel my carefully constructed world start to shift. 

Claire isn’t just a challenge—she’s a rebellion against everything I thought I wanted. Her quiet defiance makes me want to break every rule I’ve ever followed, even the ones I swore I’d never cross. 

But some truths can’t be hidden forever, and secrets have a way of ruining even the most valuable connections. Can a rebel like me find something real in a woman who’s afraid to let anyone in? 

 What do you get when such opposites attract?  My answer? "The Rebel Effect."
