War Paint — Sarah Black

<p>There's an art to love.</p>
<p>Mural artist Ben has come from Tel Aviv to Atlanta to work on a commission. A successful artist, he's still lonely and isolated after his family's rejection. Ben is charmed and surprised when local soldier Eli mistakes him for homeless, and brings him a cup of coffee and a biscuit. This gesture opens the door. Eli is lost, trying to make sense of a future without the Army after a combat injury ends his career.</p>
<p>Art gives them a new language and a path forward. But lost men can reach out, desperate to hang on to anyone close. Is what they find together real, and the kind of love that will last?</p><p><b>States of Love: </b>Stories of romance that span every corner of the United States.</p>
