Summary

‎‎‎Hazel used to see the world in colors, then one accident changed everything. Colorblind and fed up with her father’s manipulation, she leaves home with one dream: to open an art school for kids like her and prove that losing color doesn’t mean losing the ability to create unparalleled beauty. ‎ ‎Sasha has stopped dreaming of a future years ago. An amputee haunted by his past, he has lost what could never be saved. But when the girl who once shattered his life returns to Florence, threatening his family’s art gallery, Sasha sets out to revive the only place that means home to him, no matter the cost. ‎ ‎The two cross paths in “La Bella”, but neither of them is ready for what happens when their dreams align. As their lives become increasingly tangled, attraction gives way to love. And the closer they get, the faster their guarded wounds surface. Dreams become harder to chase, secrets become impossible to hide, and a betrayal threatens to destroy everything they’ve built together. ‎ ‎Hazel’s life has already lost color. Sasha’s has already lost meaning. Will they protect their hearts from another devastating loss, or will they risk everything for a true-colored love, strong enough to withstand what comes next? ‎ ‎©All Rights Reserved by Jenna Penrose
