Azur Like It

Shades of the Mediterranean Breeze

In Azur Like It, Holden Wendy transports readers to a sun-drenched Riviera retreat where every wave carries the promise of renewal—and the hint of hidden longing. When Emma Darrow, a talented art restorer burned out by the frenetic pace of London galleries, accepts an invitation to catalog a private collection in the seaside villa of reclusive entrepreneur Lucien Beaufort, she expects tranquil days spent among oil paints and frescoes. Instead, she discovers a world alive with salty air, moonlit promenades, and a chemistry that crackles as brightly as the Mediterranean sun. As Emma’s skilled hands bring treasured canvases back to life, her own heart awakens to colors she thought she had long left behind.

Waves of Discovery and Desire

Surrounded by terraced gardens and cobalt waters, Emma unearths more than just the villa’s artistic secrets. Each painting reveals whispers of Lucien’s past—lost loves preserved in sweeping brushstrokes, betrayals buried beneath layers of lacquer, and an unfinished portrait in azure hues that seems to speak directly to her. Drawn into late-night discussions of technique and truth, Emma and Lucien forge a bond rooted in creative passion and mutual respect. Yet as their collaboration deepens, so do the shadows of doubt: Can two souls from such different worlds dare to merge their futures, or will the weight of old wounds drown their fledgling affection?

Secrets Hidden in the Azure Light

Azur Like It is a lyrical celebration of art, love, and the transformative power of second chances. Holden Wendy’s evocative prose captures the hypnotic beauty of coastal vistas, the quiet intimacy of shared studio hours, and the electric tension of hearts edged by vulnerability. Readers will find themselves swept up in a story where the restoration of a masterpiece mirrors the healing of a wounded spirit, and where every brushstroke brings two kindred hearts closer to the truth they both seek.
