Every brushstroke a mystery, every canvas a lie.
Love Painted in Lies is a laugh-out-loud, feel-good, heartwarming comedy. Minty’s return to Maida Vale isn’t just about the chaos of raising twins, Old English Sheepdog shenanigans, and caring for her parents—it’s a second chance at life.
Her days are shadowed by whispers on the school run of her unusual talent—and her past at the heart of a family art ring that once duped London’s elite. Now, the law is convinced she’s back to unearth the truth about a legendary missing painting. Minty must prove her new life is a genuine fresh start. But does she know more than she’s revealing, or is her return an honest attempt to repaint her life’s canvas?
Amidst it all, a mysterious stranger strolls into her already turbulent world, bringing intrigue and the possibility of romance. Is he a brushstroke of fate or a shadow from her past?
With gangsters on her heels and love at her door, Minty embarks on a laugh-out-loud, heartwarming adventure where resilience, family complexities, the differences that make us unique, and the absurdity of overpriced art comically collide in Maida Vale.
