Nailea never meant to fall in love on the road-especially not while clinging to a relationship that was already splintering beneath the noise of late-night gigs and endless miles. As the girlfriend of a rising drummer on tour, she's learned to be sharp, guarded, and impossible to ignore. It's the only way she knows how to survive a world that never slows down.
Robert, the bassist of the headlining band (Inhaler), notices her immediately-and not in a good way. To him, Nailea is cold, cutting, and far too hard on the man who clearly adores her. He keeps his distance, convinced she's trouble wrapped in a pretty face. But tours have a way of stripping people down to who they really are.
Between dimly lit venues, shared silences on long drives, and moments no one else sees, Robert begins to notice the cracks-both in Nailea's relationship and in the armor she wears so well. What he once mistook for cruelty starts to look a lot like hurt. And the more he understands her, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them.
As lines blur and loyalties are tested, Nailea is forced to confront the truth about the love she's holding onto-and the one she never expected to find. Because sometimes, the most dangerous thing isn't falling for the wrong person... it's realising the right one was there all along.
