In a world where dreams are painted in betrayal and broken hearts, she is the canvas everyone wants to claim.

Liora Solene thought art academy would be her escape — a place where she could finally leave behind the ghosts of a painful childhood. Instead, she finds herself tangled in a dangerous love triangle:

A charming musical theatre major who promises freedom but hides his own wounds.

A quiet film director who sees her as both muse and masterpiece.

And a vengeful ex-boyfriend who refuses to let her go—even if it means destroying everything she builds.

As secrets unravel and lies stack higher, Liora must fight to protect her art, her future, and, most of all, herself.

In the end, the hardest choice isn’t between them.
It's between who she was and who she dares to become.

I nod. "Just need a break. My neck's stiff."

"I got you." She digs into her tote and hands me a small plastic bottle of lavender mist. "You look like you could use this."
