Canvas of Destiny

By May Rivers

Tanner Newman has fought for everything she has. Rising from personal tragedy and abandonment to become a successful businesswoman and devoted guardian to her younger brother, she's built a successful life from the ground up. Now, heartbroken and burned out, she returns to her hometown of Earlington, for a reunion with the theatre friends who once felt like her escape.

Melanie Campbell never left. She's built a quiet, steady life running a busy town-centre pub and dating the man everyone says is perfect. But something in her heart doesn't quite fit - something she can't name, and certainly can't share. With the pub's future uncertain and questions she's never dared ask bubbling to the surface, Mel feels her world shifting.

When Tan and Mel reconnect, the past stirs with unexpected intensity. Old friendships are rekindled - but so is something deeper, something neither of them expected. As walls come down and sparks fly, they must decide if they're ready to risk everything for a love that could finally feel like home.

Set against charming small-town life, Canvas of Destiny is a 90,000-word contemporary romance full of heart, desire, and the courage it takes to risk everything for love.
