The cost of a tempting contract. Plunged into her world of whispered threats and intoxicating deception, Seth walks the thin line between gratitude and fear. Now, the greatest threat comes from within: a sharp, undeniable attraction he doesn't dare name.

In that moment, music became his purpose, his passion, his future. He dreamed of standing onstage, a bass in his hands, performing alongside the man who inspired him. But fate had other plans. His father's sudden death shattered his world, taking his dream with it. The music that once filled his heart with fire became a reminder of everything he lost. So, he let it go.

And when Luna disappears, Wynther is left with only echoes of melodies they once shared-memories strung together by pain and longing. Will he walk away from music once more?
