The Girl in the Painting — Max Monroe

What would you do if you went to an art exhibition for a famous artist you've never met before and a painting looked exactly like you?

Ansel Bray might be an artist known around the world for his tragic hiatus from the canvas, but to me, he's just a handsome, broody stranger that I don't know at all.
Long dark hair, blue eyes, and dimpled cheeks. I've never met her, but her image is imprinted in my mind. An angel muse who inspires me to paint again.

There is something about him. Something that spurs a need to be as close to him as possible. A need to find out why.
There is something about her. Something that draws me in. Something that urges me to find out what her presence means.

Why does the girl in his painting look so much like me?
Who is this girl, and why can I see her so vividly?

I shouldn't fall in love with him.
I shouldn't fall in love at all.

But fate has other plans.
What a beautiful mess we've made.
