Aurora knows how to rebuild a life from scratch. After surviving a rough past, she found her sanctuary in the quiet, vanilla-scented aisles of an old vintage vinyl store. With her doe eyes, golden-brown hair, and a smile as warm as honey, she looks like sunshine personified-but the walls around her heart are built high and thick. She knows music inside and out, but she doesn't care for the noise of fame, modern pop culture, or the faces on billboards.
Little does she know who she would meet-Jesse Rutherford.
To the rest of the world, he's the tattooed, moody, cigarettes-and-leather lead singer of The Neighbourhood, drowning in the chaotic glare of the spotlight. But the moment he steps into the shop, he steps into the first real peace he's felt in years. To his shock, she doesn't freak out. She doesn't ask for an autograph. She just sees a tall, tired guy with ink-stained hands looking for a place to hide from the rain.
What starts as quiet Tuesday afternoon routine slowly spins into a fragile connection. But as the music plays and the burn grows slower and deeper, how long can Jesse keep his reality a secret from the one girl who loves him for who he is, rather than who he sings for?
