The Color Beneath the Story

By Kira Lorne

Camden Rushberton-one-time bestselling, currently flailing romance author-has a problem.

Well... several.

His book is eight months late. His publisher has exiled him to rural Maine.

And his assistant Anna has shown up to supervise him... with her maybe-girlfriend Kira in tow-an enchantress with blue-tipped hair, sharp eyeliner, and absolutely no respect for personal space.

Now Cam is trapped in a creaky old BnB at the edge of nowhere, surrounded by fog, pine trees, a suspiciously judgmental stream, and two women who seem determined to peel him open in completely different ways.

Anna is order, warmth, banter, sweaters, and that quiet crush he's been refusing to name.

Kira is chaos, beauty, danger, and the kind of sensual confidence that turns gravity into a suggestion.

Between the late-night writing sessions, the emotional landmines, the accidental confessions, the not-accidental chemistry, and the story he's supposed to be finishing, Cam discovers something unsettling:

The only way to save his book... is to feel everything he's been avoiding.

And the only way through that?

Anna and Kira-messy, magnetic, impossible-becoming the color beneath his story.

A romantic dramedy about creativity, longing, accidental intimacy, chosen family, and the strange, tender places inspiration comes from.
