When world-weary concert pianist Isla Monroe returns to her sleepy coastal hometown after a decade away, she brings with her a silence deeper than grief and a heart still echoing with the name of one man-Julian Thorne, the artist who once painted her soul in color.
But Julian is no longer the boy with ink-stained hands and wild dreams. Now a reclusive muralist hiding behind city walls and past mistakes, he's convinced that the love they once shared burned too brightly to last.
As the two are forced back into each other's orbits-by a shared past, a family secret, and a town that never forgot their story-Isla and Julian must confront the truth: Can a heart once broken be beloved again?
