Soraya León built Lyric House with her whole heart. A record shop, coffee bar, and performance space tucked into an Atlanta neighborhood that raised her just as much as music did, Lyric House is more than a business-it's a sanctuary. A place for soul, for sound, for chosen family. For the women who love her fiercely. For the father who taught her how to fix things. For the stories that live between vinyl grooves and open-mic nights. Love? She doesn't have time for that. Zaire Wright didn't come to Atlanta looking for anything-especially not her. A Chicago native with a gift for music and a habit of putting everyone else first, Zaire is in town to support his best friend through heartbreak. Teaching by day, creating by night, he's long learned how to keep his passions quiet and his desires even quieter. Until Lyric House. Until Soraya. What starts as easy conversation turns into something deeper-something slower, steadier, and impossible to ignore. Drawn together by music, laughter, and the people who love them, Soraya and Zaire find themselves standing at the edge of something real... and terrifying. Because wanting someone is one thing. But loving them- like you want to- That changes everything.
