Love isn’t always the light—it’s the shadow that consumes you.
In the shadowed streets of New Orleans, art is Sienna Devearaux’s sanctuary—and her curse. Haunted by betrayal and loss, she hides her scars behind bold brushstrokes and a gallery that bears her name. But when Renji Nakamura—a ruthless heir to a powerful crime family—enters her world, everything she’s built begins to unravel.
Their first meeting is war.
Their second, obsession.
By the third, it’s already too late.
He’s dangerous. She’s defiant. Together, they’re a storm that can’t be contained.
And the deeper they fall, the more their passion threatens to burn everything in its path.
Perfect for fans of Haunting Adeline and Butcher & Blackbird, Shadows in the Paint is a dark, intoxicating romance where desire cuts as sharp as betrayal.
Perfect for readers who crave slow-burn tension, sharp banter, morally gray characters, and love that hurts before it heals.
