Who could not want a steamy gorgeous black hair blue eyed man? Jewel sure can't, especially after she breaks into his farm house shack and reveals he is surely not a bum that the local boys want to play a prank on. He sneaks up on her as she is admiring is beautiful paintings and snapping pictures. He's staggering gorgeous in his faded blue jeans,  fresh from the shower, shirtless and piercing blue eyes. In that moment she's taken aback to her teenage days, stumbly and nervous. Though she is there without his consent he doesn't seemed to mind and offers her a cup of coffee and a once in a lifetime oppurtunity, to be painted.Jewel has been in therapy for many years from the death of her children and hasn't been out of her comfort zone until she meets the tormented and tantalizing Johnny Blue. He wants to paint her, she wants to not want him so badly. CAn she get past her own anxiety and allow him to paint her any way he wants? Can Johnny overcome his past and see that what he needs is right in front of him?I was engaged from the moment that she was a local girl breaking and entering into a dark place she shouldn't be. I loved the interaction between Jewel and Johnny. I loved the way Jewel kept putting herself in check with the way she would speak. I loved the intense gazes Johnny would give Jewel and could imagine that is what an artist sees. Beauty in many forms.This is a short story with engaging characters and a story to pull at your heart.
