Painted

Painter Rhys Hawthorne is a rising star in the art world and a favorite teacher at the Hawthorne Community Arts Center, but his inspiration has been stuck for weeks, he's still grieving for his sister, who lost her life in a car crash, and his personal life is a mess . . . because he can't stop thinking about younger, vulnerable Early Stevens, who is not only confused about their life, they're an employee of the family.

Getting tangled in a forbidden infatuation is the last thing Rhys needs . . .

Early is still coming to grips with being nonbinary and figuring out what they want in their life, and now their parents have kicked them out of the house. The only light in their life is the Hawthorne family, who have taken them in. But living at Hawthorne house only puts Early into forced proximity with his crush, Rhys. They might not know what they want or how to navigate the pitfalls in front of them, but they know they want Rhys.

But will one night of accidental passion between Rhys and Early help both of them get unstuck and find their path, or will their scandalous feelings for each other put the entire Hawthorne family in jeopardy?

Contains mature themes.
