When love turns into obsession, what would you do?

Emilia Spade is a burnt-out novelist, a cheerful and curious woman. But is then given the opportunity to regain her spark as she inherits her deceased Aunt Evelyn's manor a week after her funeral.

She finds a box full of love letters, addressed to and made by her aunt. But they aren't ordinary letters, they're dated back to the 60s. Who is her aunt's lover?

Nolan Brown, a retired grumpy detective, lives across the manor. He reluctantly helps Emilia out in her investigation. He has always struggled with trust issues, but maybe she's the one who'll melt the walls he put up years ago. 

Together, they find out that her aunt isn't just involved in a silly little romance. It's darker than that. 

Will she follow the fate of her aunt and become a lost soul or will she write her own future? Will Nolan finally open up or will he experience his past all over again?

-

"You think I'll let that happen?"

Read to find out what happens in their mystery, their love, and their souls.

Emilia Carter swore she'd never return to Maple Ridge. Not after the way everything fell apart. The small town holds too many memories, too many ghosts of a past she's spent years trying to forget. But when her father's health takes a turn, she has no choice but to go back, even if it means facing Grayson Holt, the boy who once held her heart and then let it slip through his fingers. Grayson was her best friend, her first love, the one person who knew her better than anyone. But the night she needed him most, he let her go without a fight. Now, years later, he's still here, quiet, brooding, and running his family's bookstore as if nothing ever changed. But the moment Emilia steps back into town, old wounds begin to resurface, and the connection between them proves impossible to ignore. Emilia tells herself she's only staying for a few weeks, just long enough to help her father. But avoiding Grayson in a town this small is impossible, and with every stolen glance, every conversation laced with words left unsaid, she starts to realize that maybe their story never truly ended. Because the night she left, Grayson had a reason, one he never told her. A secret that changed everything. And now that she's back, he can't keep it from her any longer. She thought she was only coming home for her father. But some things, and some people, were never meant to be left behind.

After a tragic accident destroys her career and reputation, Ava Vale walks away from the world of interior design and reinvents herself as a traveling restorer of forgotten art, she finds purpose in restoring what others abandoned. She hides behind brushes and varnish, far from the city that broke her spirit-until a call sends her to the crumbling estate of Caelum Thorne, a brilliant painter who vanished years ago. What she expects: a house full of decaying canvases. What she finds: a man still mourning the woman who left him... and a portrait that looks exactly like her. Same face. Same lips. Same haunting beauty. The only difference? The eyes. Ava's are brown. The woman in the painting-Evelyn-had piercing blue. When Callum sees her, he falls apart. "You came back to me," he whispers. But Ava is not Evelyn. She's not a ghost, not a muse, not the girl who left him behind. And yet... he paints her. Again and again. Desperate to reclaim her identity, Ava strikes a deal: She'll help him find Evelyn-if he hands over all of his art. But the longer she stays, the more she sees the man behind the madness. And the more Caelum paints, the more he sees Ava-not the memory. Until one day, Evelyn returns. And Ava must decide if she's strong enough to walk away from a man who never asked her to stay. But behind every portrait... a secret waits to be answered-why did Evelyn leave? A love story layered with obsession, identity, and betrayal. He spent years painting the woman who left. Until a stranger taught him how to love someone who stayed.
