She came to paint. Her mentor came to devour.

Ellie Pryce is running — from a ruined degree, a controlling ex, and the shame of wanting too much. When reclusive artist Vivian Harlow offers her a summer residency at her lakeside studio, Ellie expects grueling critique and isolation.

She doesn’t expect the way Viv looks at her.

Viv hasn’t taken a muse in years — not since the last one called her a monster and left. But Ellie’s raw talent and reckless vulnerability are impossible to resist. One brush stroke becomes a touch. One pose becomes a confession. One summer becomes everything.

As paint meets skin and art meets desire, the line between teacher and lover dissolves completely. Body paint sessions become foreplay. Studio critiques become seductions. The praise that makes Ellie hold still — good girl, perfect, gorgeous — rewires both of them. But Viv’s gallery comeback threatens to put their most intimate moments on public walls, and Ellie must decide: is she the canvas, or the artist?
