The Art of New Beginnings

A clean, contemporary, small town romance

By: K.T. Raine

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Sometimes it's the shadows of our past that illuminate the path forward.

After five years in prison for a crime she didn’t commit, 30-year-old Morgan Mayfield is finally free—yet the life she once knew is gone. Once a celebrated artist, she's now branded a pariah in her hometown of Portland, Oregon. With nowhere else to turn, she heads for the one place where happy childhood memories linger: Big Pine, Montana.

Armed with nothing but determination and a new alias, Morgan finds work at the Big Pine Bar and Grill and begins rebuilding her life. She never expects to cross paths with Gio Lascari, the charismatic owner whose steady kindness both unnerves and comforts her. Gio senses she's carrying secrets, but he also sees the courage behind her guarded smile—and he's drawn to it.

Just as Morgan begins to believe in second chances, the past she's been hiding from walks straight into her life. When a shocking encounter threatens to expose her identity and destroy everything she's rebuilt, Morgan must find the strength to face the truth ... and decide if she can trust Gio with the pieces of her heart.

A heartfelt, slow-burn clean romance about redemption, hope, and the healing power of love—set against the rugged beauty of small-town Montana.
