At sixteen, Tara's world is a gallery of unfinished canvases. She has the technique and the passion to captivate an audience, but her art lacks a soul-a muse to bridge the gap between "good" and "unforgettable." Her pieces remain incomplete, waiting for a spark she can't quite define. Then, he returns to town. With one look, Tara recognizes the eyes of the boy she swore she'd never forget. But the boy is gone, replaced by a man who is strictly off-limits. He is her older brother's best friend, a figure from her past who is now a dangerous distraction to her future. As he becomes the missing piece in her art, Tara must decide if finishing her masterpiece is worth the risk of shattering her family's trust. Some secrets are better left unpainted, and some muses are destined to stay out of reach.

How far do we go for validation? Lena Sinclair has always wanted to be loved, or at the very least, liked. However, her quiet suburban town in Maine never interested her.
