Jill is a painter who has lost the will to paint. Josh is a mysterious visitor who may or may not have her best interests at heart. Is he there to help her or destroy her? Jill Campbell is a born artist who has a strong vision of what she's trying to accomplish. She's had a lot of gallery rejections from people who want her to conform to their narrow ideas about "art." In the meantime she's been waitressing to make ends meet for her son and compensating for the frequent absences of his dad, who is trying to make it as a musician. Between having too little encouragement from the outside world and too little time, Jill feels worn out and has lost the drive to climb up into her loft and do the hard work of painting. She has given up the very thing that brings her joy. Then a sophisticated stranger comes into her life who changes everything. He seems to fall in love with her paintings; he also seems to fall in love with her. Jill finds his dark affectations off-putting but sets aside her misgivings for the sake of positive reinforcement. Which may not be such a good idea. Josh may not be the generous supporter he appears to be. Jill is the greatest thing that has ever happened in his life-but the darkness she perceives is not an act. Tortured by bloodguilt, he fears he may hurt Jill just as he has hurt others. Can there be hope when all hope seems gone? The Visitor is a thrilling story of love, loss, darkness and redemption.
