Hand Painted Hearts
is a cozy romantic tale of second chances, set in a creaky inn where love is just one renovation away.
Zara, a sarcastic art grad with unfinished dreams, returns to restore her stepfamily's bed and breakfast. But the past proves hard to paint over-especially when Callum, her stepbrother's childhood friend and first heartbreak, shows up with a tool belt and unresolved feelings.
As they navigate repairs, reluctant confessions, and sparks that refuse to stay buried, Zara and Callum must confront their shared history and a chemistry too loud to ignore. With each brushstroke, they uncover layers of humor, heartbreak, and home-nudged along by a nosy neighbor and a meddling aunt who always seem to "just be passing by."
Perfect for fans of slow-burn charm, witty banter, and stories where love sneaks in with the smell of fresh paint.
