Louise McAvoy lives an ordinary life: ordinary job, ordinary boyfriend. She's grown so used to it that she's forgotten how dull ordinary can be, until the day she sees classical pianist Jennifer Bellerose at a recital. The beautiful performance unlocks the artistic inspiration Louise thought she'd lost upon leaving art school three years ago. Inspired, Louise begins to paint again, her trademark rich abstract pieces bursting forth, and her life turns around and upside down in more ways than one. A chance meeting leads Jennifer and Louise to form a friendship and connection that comes to a head when Jennifer asks Louise to paint her. Their connection and chemistry is something unexpected and terrifying to Louise—but if she lets it, it could be something beautiful.
