Haunted by his past, he refuses to allow himself to get close to anyone, until he encounters Kris, the living image of his childhood sweetheart. He has to paint her, to sculpt her, to have her. Against her better judgement, Kris Mayer accepts Ashton's request to model for him. The more time she spends with him, the more she falls for him, despite knowing their relationship can only last as long as her modelling job. When Kris tries to cut her ties to Ashton, he has no intention of letting her get away and ruin his plan to make her fall head over heels for him. But fate intervenes, threatening not only their love, but also Ashton's life.
