The Maine Painter is a racy gay romance about up-and-coming artist Michael Richard Gray; his sexy model, Hal Robinson; and the wealthy and handsome gallery owner, Craig Morgan, who not only promises to show Michael's work in Boston, New York, and London, but also falls in love with him.
The story begins on the seemingly quiet streets of Camden, Maine, a picturesque seaside village where Michael has been scraping by as a professional artist by selling portraits of local folks in the town. However, he changes artistic directions when he discovers the gorgeous, red-speedo-clad Hal on the beach. And soon, his model becomes his lover.
Later, when Michael's work attracts the attention of an international art dealer, he finds himself being persuaded into signing a contract authorizing Craig as his agent. As Michael's life turns into a flurry of hard work, new models, and trips to Boston, Craig puts his professional instincts aside in his desire to make his hot new artist his partner at home as well.
Combining the drama of Peyton Place with the storytelling of Michael Thomas Ford, L. W. Clark's The Maine Painter will carry you away on a wave of hot sex and artistic aspirations.
