Her music speaks to the pain and struggles she's faced, but no matter how hard she tries, the past continues to limit her as anger and hate fill her heart.

That is until she hires a new publicist, James Cade, to help settle disputes and maintain the seemingly perfect image to the prying media eyes. Cade is everything Serena isn't - outgoing, confident, and unafraid of a little work. But despite their differences, the two find themselves drawn to each other in a way they never expected.

As their professional relationship turns personal, Serena's past continues to haunt her, threatening to destroy the fragile trust she's built with Cade. Can she fully open up her heart to him and let him into her world, or will her fears and insecurities keep them both locked in solitude forever?

With emotional depth and raw honesty, this novel explores the power of love to heal even the deepest wounds and the courage it takes to let go of the past and embrace the present.
