Two artists. Two weeks. One very public collision. Freya Collins makes music for the quiet moments. Shane Boose is built for chaos. They were never supposed to mix-until a collab series forces them into the same studio, the same songs, and the same rumors. What happens next isn't on the setlist. Note: All characters, posts, and events in this story are fictional. The social media handles, fan communities, and behind-the-scenes drama are entirely made up-any similarities to real people or situations are coincidental. Now - I wish you a good read!

Shane and Jody.
Neither of them looking for love. Not after the heartbreaks they've crawled out of. But life has other plans. Shane, a rising musician with a voice the world is starting to recognize. Jody, a girl with no idea she's fallen for someone famous. He hides behind a name, behind half truths and lyrics written about someone else. And yet, with Jody, it feels real. Dangerously real. But what happens when the walls crack?
When the lies unravel?
When Jody starts seeing through the version of Shane he wants her to believe in? When Shane notices the hurting Jody? Triggering situations or words will be acknowledged twice within the chapter they occur. Insults not included !
