PORN, GLITTER AND UGLY LADIES ARE WHAT VIVIAN GRIMES PAINTS.

BAD BOYS, DRUNKEN LOSERS, AND HER HIGH SCHOOL JANITOR ARE THE MEN IN HER LIFE WHO SHE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT.

Meet Bad Girl Artist: Vivian Grimes

For my last year of high school I was seduced by the janitor, Darren Bader. Right before graduating Darren dumped me and I thought my life was over. But really I was just beginning...

A few years later my hot-messy self is living the artist dream in NYC-my paintings are selling like hot cakes and I have my own apartment all to myself, and two men. Two men who would kill each other; well one would beat the other one up as the other one would hide under my bed.

I was caught in a crazy love triangle...

Mr. Alpha A**hole, Damien Doyle: mean blue eyes, tattoos meant for exploring and a hot body that I undeniably wanted. Our love was a toxic mix of love and hate. I loved hurting him and he
had the best sexy apologies.

Then there was Eddie Scozzari, my sweet Eddie who swooned me with laughable pickup lines and kinky sex. I couldn't resist him and I couldn't let him go.

Jinxed, cursed and doomed, the grim reaper knocked at my door and my life broke into pieces. With nothing more to lose I was determined to find my way home and to the one that I love.

The Coffee Painter is a twisted contemporary love story about a young woman torn between two men, and trying to survive her own bad habits.
