Rylee Andrews thought she could paint her way out of anything—until a night of violence shatters her world. Determined to reclaim her life, she pours grief and anger into one monumental canvas: The Protector. With the quiet, steady presence of Henry, a guarded model with his own scars, and the fierce support of friends and family, Rylee faces court, healing, and the fragile possibility of love. Tender, intense, and ultimately hopeful, The Protector is a story about art as witness, the slow work of recovery, and the courage it takes to be seen.
