The Palette We Share: A Small Town, Best Friend, Second Chance Romance

By Ava Hawthorne

The most dangerous canvas is the one where desire and truth collide...
Graphic designer Hailee Wells has finally escaped the corporate world to build her career in Riverbrook, Vermont. By day, she creates commercial designs that pay the bills. By night, she works on vibrant canvases she's never had the courage to show anyone.

When Autumn Valente walks back into her life after twelve years, Hailee is confronted with memories she's carefully filed away-a childhood friendship and a lakeside goodbye that left more questions than answers. Now a successful photographer, Autumn sees through Hailee's carefully constructed walls to the brilliance she keeps hidden.

Complicating matters is Connor Blackwood-the business-minded brother of Riverbrook's master metalworker. His challenging questions about her artistic choices initially infuriate Hailee, yet she finds herself drawn to his practical confidence in ways she never expected.

As summer heat intensifies, Hailee finds herself caught between the woman who understands her artistic soul and the man who pushes her to believe in her talents. But embracing either means confronting something she's spent years denying-that the most vibrant colors emerge only when we have the courage to blend what we want with who we truly are.
