YA
Outside the hospital where she practices her anatomy drawing, seventeen-year-old aspiring medical illustrator Beatrix meets mysterious Jack, a Buddhist graffiti artist and the son of San Francisco's mayor. As Bex learns about Jack's tragic family secrets, she discovers some her single mother has been hiding from her. The resolution of these dramas feels sappy, but steamy romance and an interesting premise will attract readers.
