"No matter what the name on the canvas, the painting itself is the signature of the soul."- Melinda Morton
Michelle's summer trip to Europe takes a detour when her father insists her aunt escort her. She fears it will dash her hopes for an exciting adventure aboard. Free-spirited Lindy, a well-known artist, is pleased to chaperone her niece, but she has her own misgivings about the trip. Until they meet a dashing young Spanish street artist and a British movie location scout, setting off sparks.
Charmed by Roberto, the artist, Michelle, is drawn into the beauty of his coastal city. Her aunt is fascinated with Colin, the well-traveled and handsome Brit, who invites her to accompany him on a location scout in Morocco. While the younger couple dines out, a thief steals a few paintings, including a commissioned work, from Roberto's home studio. Why would anyone take the seemingly low-value paintings? Intrigued, Lindy begins to develop a theory, leading them into a quest for answers.
As they follow a trail of intrigue across Spain and Portugal, Lindy and Michelle stumble into a sinister plot that could cost all of them their lives.
