In Our Hands

Sometimes the most beautiful masterpiece is the one you make together.

Available Now

When Lantern commissions sculptor Neal Calder to create a work representing the company’s mission, Maya Moretti expects another project to manage.

Instead, Neal disrupts the carefully controlled world she has built.

Maya has spent years proving herself in an industry where competence, preparation, and being several steps ahead have become part of her identity. Neal works differently — physically, intuitively, patiently.

Working alongside him reconnects Maya with art, her Italian heritage, memories of her grandfather the painter, and parts of herself that ambition has gradually pushed aside.

A love story about the tension between control and creativity, intellect and instinct, leadership and vulnerability — and what happens when a woman who plans everything falls for a man who trusts his hands.
