Description
Stephanie White returns to the holler with her SUV loaded with blank canvases, only to discover her childhood home has become The Muse’s Rest Bed & Breakfast. The carved sign stops her cold, and the man who steps onto the porch is Richard Clark—the one face she has painted in her mind for twenty years.
Fully booked for peak foliage season, Richard offers her the tiny artist’s loft above the barn. There she finds her old sketches still pinned to the beams, preserved like relics. Tension crackles between them as they argue over the house’s past and its uncertain future, yet every accidental touch and shared glance pulls them closer.
When a storm knocks out the power and the B&B faces mounting tax debt, Stephanie and Richard are forced into long nights of conversation and one unforgettable kiss by the hearth. She begins a new series of portraits, and he agrees to sit, opening the door to truths they both buried.
With an exclusive gallery opening at the estate and the holler rallying behind them, Stephanie must decide whether her famous mountain landscapes were ever the real destination—or whether the view she has always needed has been standing in her driveway all along.
