TitleLeadingThe
ReviewsA highly sought-after artist by day and clandestine graffiti prankster by night, Roman Velasco has shut his heart--until Grace Moore shows up on his doorstep. Grace has overcome too much in her life: she has survived her parents' violent deaths; she has given up her own studies to support her husband through college only to find him cheating on her in their own house; and she has transcended the shock of an unplanned pregnancy. Through it all, Jesus has stood by her, even appearing as an angel to comfort her when she was a grieving 7-year-old trying to find a way to endure. Recently, she has found a home for herself and her 5-month-old son, Samuel, but living with the Garcias, who had hoped to adopt Samuel, is difficult, especially since Selah consistently pushes Grace away, casting herself as the boy's constant maternal presence. So when Grace accepts a job as the temperamental Roman's personal assistant, complete with a cottage to herself --a cottage where she can start to separate from Selah and her family, where she can build a life for herself and Samuel --it's a dream come true. Roman's rough language and atheism, however, trouble Grace, just as Grace's spirituality and privacy trouble Roman. After all, he's used to easy women and commitment-free interludes. Christian novelist Rivers (Earth Psalms, 2016, etc.) deftly threads Roman's and Grace's lives together as they tiptoe around their emotional scars, eventually shifting into a dance of tentative steps toward a love neither can resist. Fans of Christian romance will delight in this tale of salvation through love.

SynopsisA New York Times , USA Today , and Publishers Weekly bestseller "This character-driven romance will enthrall [Rivers's] many fans." -- Library Journal The New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love returns to her romance roots with this unexpected and redemptive love story, a probing tale that reminds us that mercy can shape even the most broken among us into an imperfect yet stunning masterpiece.A successful LA artist, Roman Velasco appears to have everything he could possibly want--money, women, fame. Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has. The demons of Roman's past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view. But Grace doesn't know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist--an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison.Like Roman, Grace is wrestling with ghosts and secrets of her own. After a disastrous marriage threw her life completely off course, she vowed never to let love steal her dreams again. But as she gets to know the enigmatic man behind the reputation, it's as if the jagged pieces of both of their pasts slowly begin to fit together . . . until something so unexpected happens that it changes the course of their relationship--and both their lives--forever."Rivers deftly threads Roman's and Grace's lives together as they tiptoe around their emotional scars, eventually shifting into a dance of tentative steps toward a love neither can resist. Fans of Christian romance will delight in this tale of salvation through love."-- Kirkus Reviews "Richly detailed characters with traumatic pasts are woven together with biblical truths and redemptive themes... This is an amazing, beautifully written tale to be savored and pondered and shared with others."-- Romantic Times "Readers will marvel at Rivers's storytelling arc encompassing the reconciliation of gritty past misdeeds and the work in progress of a life of forgiveness."-- Booklist "Fans of Francine Rivers will eagerly devour The Masterpiece and find exactly what they are looking for: a beautifully written story of faith, romance, and the power that true freedom can bring."-- Bookreporter.com, "New York Times"-bestselling author Rivers returns to her romance roots with this unexpected and redemptive love story, a probing tale of how mercy can shape even the most broken into an imperfect yet stunning masterpiece., A NEW YORK TIMES , USA TODAY , and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY bestseller"This character-driven romance will enthrall Rivers's] many fans."
