Painted Hearts (#1 Indigo Lake) by Bec George (SIGNED)

Releasing and shipping July 1st 2026!

A grumpy sunshine, rivals to lovers, small town romance perfect for fans of B. K. Borison, Lucy Score, and Catherine Cowles.

Two rival businesses. One very inconvenient address.

Winnie is starting over. After arriving in Indigo Lake, she’s ready for a fresh chapter - beginning with Bubbles & Brushes, the charming paint-and-sip art studio she’s always dreamed of opening.

But there’s one thing in her way.

Everett. Her gruff, no-nonsense next-door neighbor, whose whiskey bar shares a wall with Winnie.

When Winnie paints her side of the building a bright, bubblegum pink, chaos (and competition) takes hold. Not only do they share the same building - they also share the same customer base.

As the pair butt heads over everything from noise levels to paint swatches, an undeniable spark begins to smolder. But both have reasons for guarding their hearts, and Everett is harboring secrets of his own.

As their rivalry spills from business into their apartments (that are also awkwardly connected), sparks fly in this laugh-out-loud grumpy sunshine romance about two people who need therapy - but find each other instead.
