Lily Turncott didn't expect to meet Billy Collins the night everything fell apart. He's all smoke and music, the kind of beautiful that sneaks up on you-and he's leaving town by morning. But a late-night milkshake, a few too many blues songs, and an all-night conversation changes everything. As seasons shift and Billy's band begins to rise, the distance between them grows-yet they keep circling back to each other. In stolen weekends, quiet confessions, and the weight of what they never say aloud, Lily and Billy find themselves caught in something that's almost love-but never quite easy.
