The PortraitThe Portrait

As a highly sought-after portrait artist, Devon Darcy seems to have the ability to peer into the souls of her subjects and capture them on canvas. But the world doesn't know about the devastating losses she has endured, first as an orphan, then as a far-too-young widow. Entrepreneur Charles Mackenzie Taylor has given up on love, resigning himself to a passionless marriage to avoid the inconvenience of divorce. But, when Charlie meets Devon at a New York gallery event, he is haunted by her beauty and her talent, so approaches her to paint his portrait. She in turn is intrigued by Charlie - the electricity between them is palpable. As they spent time together over the course of a Hamptons summer, their connection deepens as years of pent-up emotions and unfulfilled longing are released. But the ghosts of their pasts cannot be put to rest easily. Charlie wrestles with his fear of real intimacy, while Devon struggles with her fear of abandonment. And, after an accident endangers Devon's career, they must both decide what their future will hold.
