  A contemporary romance set in the Louisiana bayou, following Elena Vargas, a
  painter who returns home to Cypress Bend after a failed city relationship, and
  Jax Harlan, a reclusive novelist battling writer's block. As their creative
  worlds collide in the misty marshes, they discover that love -- and the courage
  to face their pasts -- may be the most powerful inspiration of all.
