Shadows and Canvas

By Scarlett Hayes

She ran to the mountains to hide.
The past followed her anyway.

When artist Mira Castellano uncovers a powerful Denver gallery's involvement in stolen art, she's forced to disappear to protect the people she loves. She finds refuge in Prospect, Colorado-a quiet mountain town where strangers notice newcomers and secrets don't stay buried for long.

As Mira tries to rebuild her life through painting, a local contractor with his own scars begins to see the fear she hides behind her calm exterior. But when a private investigator arrives asking questions, it becomes clear that running was never enough.

With time running out and danger closing in, Mira must decide whether to stay silent-or risk everything to expose the truth.

A story of resilience, trust, and the courage it takes to stop running, set against the haunting beauty of the Colorado mountains.
