Isla is assigned to curate Adrian Holt's first exhibition in over a decade. When she meets him, their chemistry is instantaneous—magnetic and impossible to ignore. Adrian claims he can only paint when he's in love, and Isla becomes his muse.
But as the paintings grow more intimate, Isla begins to see herself on the canvas—naked, vulnerable, and painted in a crimson so deep it feels like blood. She's pulled into his world of midnight studio sessions, wine-soaked arguments, and heat that borders on obsession.
The danger comes when Evelyn enters the picture, entangled in Adrian's orbit. Love, lust, and betrayal bleed together until Isla must decide what "the color of love" truly is—passion, or pain.
