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.

Until life stopped her in its tracks. Two weeks in the hospital and a diagnosis for bipolar disorder changed everything, how people view her, and more importantly how she views herself. A quiet, artistic boy named Rylan Bennett, who's back in Ashbourne after being in Harrowfield for a year, now trying to pick back up the pieces of himself after his mother left him and took more than she realised.
