The saga of the Azevedo women continues with Jewel’s story.
Grieving the loss of her fiancé, 23-year-old visual artist Jewel accepts an invitation to live with friends in Carmel, to paint by the sea, heal her heart, and realize the dream of an exhibition of her canvases in a fine art gallery.
In Carmel, Jewel meets billionaire entrepreneur, Dominic. There is a mutual attraction, but his connections to Jewel’s fiancé are disturbing and she prefers to stay just friends. When Dominic introduces Jewel to fiery local artist Vince, sparks fly in more ways than one. Vince is competition, another artist taking up space where she wants to be. He’s also hot as hell. Jewel isn’t ready for anything serious, but she is lonely, and the idea of a fling with Vince gives her butterflies.
Just as she’s about to make her feelings known, Jewel learns what Vince has been hiding. Trust shattered, she impulsively turns to Dominic and Vince is prepared to grovel for her forgiveness.
But Vince has an obsessed admirer of his own, and she is willing to risk lives to get him back.
‘An Artist’s Heart’ can be read as a standalone, but if you would like to know about Jewel’s childhood, please read my first book, ‘Thanks, Universe’.
