The canvas never lies.

Anthony Henson doesn't do people. He prefers to be left alone with his paint, brushes, and canvas. A world that allows his mind to be at ease, without the struggle to do what is right by societal dictates. His quiet universe is sent spinning when a string of recent thefts brings a tall Irish detective into his circle.

Detective Liam Rourke has a hard, firm policy on not intermingling work and pleasure. Until now, it's not been an issue to uphold. Enter one painter and all he wants to do is spend more time around him. The lines between professional and personal are blurred.

When everything settles, what will happen to the straightlaced detective and the one man whose messy life, doesn't matter to him?
