How to inspire a painter? Have him fall in love.
As an indie yarn dyer, Lilah lives to combine colors, but now there's a chance to use those skills in the real world. Her best friend, Brooke, is grieving after a bad break-up. At the same time, Lilah's favorite painter, Emerson Charles, wants to back out of his first exhibit. Nothing will fire up a painter quite like falling in love. If matching colors is thrilling, matchmaking people must be even better. Lilah will pair these two together like one of her handpainted colorways, then enjoy the fireworks. Emerson's sure his art is all wrong for the upcoming exhibit, but the guild president, Lilah Marcille, won't let him quit. She's loaned him space in her home to keep painting, and she also seems to be loaning him her best friend. He and Brooke... Well, she's nice. But when Emerson's with Lilah, inspiration flows fast and hot, and it's not letting up. Turns out, people don't blend the way colors do. Lilah would rather break her own heart than Brooke's, but how can she break Emerson's?
