About this listen
In the heart of Marseille, amidst the vibrant street art of Cours Julien, a young graffiti artist uncovers a hidden piece of history that will change her life forever.
Marseille, August 2004
Arriving to attend the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts, Sil Anderson discovers a suitcase filled with letters of Lise de Baissac, a courageous female SOE agent during World War II.
Transported into Lise’s world, Sil follows the story of a woman who risked everything to fight against Nazi oppression. Lise’s journey from fleeing occupied Paris to orchestrating daring missions in Poitiers and Normandy unfolds with intense bravery and strategic brilliance.
Inspired by Lise’s story of female empowerment and courage, Sil creates a mural titled “The Color of Courage,” weaving in Lise’s portrait with snippets from her letters.
Alongside her artistic journey, Sil finds herself drawn to her enigmatic landlord, Justin Bellamare, mirroring the classic Marseillaise love story of Lise and Henri Villameur.
For both Lise and Sil, the ultimate reward for their rebel spirit is love. And love conquers all.

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Story
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much.

Story
Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.
