Sasha Wren is a young artist with talent and no name, so when celebrated painter Vivienne Sorel offers her a place in the studio, it feels like the break of a lifetime. The world Vivienne lives in is beautiful, intimate, and built on rules Sasha does not yet understand.
What begins as mentorship turns into something with desire and control braided through it. Sasha sits for Vivienne, learns from her, and starts to lose the line between her own work and the woman painting her. The closer she gets to being the muse, the more she has to ask what she is willing to trade for a career — and whether the version of herself coming out of it is one she can live with.
