Moonlight over Montmartre: A Canvas in Exile

In the winter haze of 1925 Paris, Colette Durand sings in Manhattan nightclubs while Luc Renault hides in a Montmartre studio, haunted by a muse who has become myth. When memory begins to take shape on stolen canvases, their shared past is pulled into the light—and neither artist can look away.
A Canvas in Exile is the lyrical second novel in the Moonlight over Montmartre series, where longing lingers like smoke and love is redrawn through distance. Through masked waltzes, unsent letters, and unfinished songs, Luc and Colette must decide whether their art has kept them together—or only ever held them apart.

Violet Vale crafts evocative historical romances filled with atmospheric settings, creative passion, and heartfelt emotion. Her novels explore the transformative power of art, music, and love across time and place.
