Kira Williams has always been the teacher, not the artist—but when a last-minute gallery opportunity lands in her lap, she has to face the question she’s avoided for years: what story does her art really tell?

 

Between guiding a gifted but grieving student and navigating chance encounters with a charming, guarded stranger, Kira begins to unravel her own past—and discover the love, courage, and identity she’s been hiding from herself.

 

Love Behind the Canvas is a tender, slow-burn contemporary romance full of emotional growth, small-town charm, and the transformative power of art. Perfect for fans of heartfelt stories about self-discovery, unexpected love, and the quiet bravery it takes to show your true colors.
