In the heart of Nashville's country music scene, two stars shine bright but from opposite ends of the spectrum. Piper James, the quintessential girl next door, captivates audiences with her soulful voice and down-to-earth charm. Loved by all, she embodies the purity of country music, a beacon of authenticity in a world of glitter and glamour.

On the other side of the stage is Ben Morgan, a troubadour with a tarnished reputation. Known for his wild antics and notorious womanizing ways, he's the bad boy of country music, a rebel without a cause whose songs tell tales of whiskey-soaked nights and broken hearts.

When fate brings Piper and Ben together for a collaboration on a new song, sparks fly-but not the kind anyone expects. Despite their stark differences, they find a common rhythm in their music, creating melodies that resonate with raw emotion and undeniable chemistry.

As they navigate the treacherous waters of fame and the pressures of the music industry, Ben proposes a daring plan: a publicity stunt to fake a romantic relationship. With no strings attached and no real feelings involved, they agree, confident they can keep their emotions in check.

But as they walk the fine line between reality and fiction, their hearts become entangled in a melody of their own making. Despite their best efforts to deny it, the attraction between them grows stronger with each passing day.

Yet, just when they think they've found their perfect harmony, Ben's fear of commitment threatens to tear them apart. Will they let their love take center stage, or will fear and insecurity silence the song of their hearts forever?

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights. He has countless tattoos covering his body. And he doesn't care about anything or anyone else. Layla Stevens is your average seventeen year-old girl, just trying to get through high school, with the friends she loves and doing the things she loves. When these two cross paths accidentally in an unusual way, they leave and never expect to speak to each other again. But fate has other plans. Layla finds her way into Reece's life and Reece doesn't know what to do about it. This ray of Sunshine suddenly meant something to him. She understood him when it seemed like no one else did. And he protected her from everyone who tried to hurt His Sunshine. Get ready for a story filled with bad pick-up lines, twin telepathy and a lot of fighting. Like, a LOT. Thanks for that one, Reece.

Piper Walsh has always been a fighter. No matter how many times life has knocked her down, she's always gotten back up, her smile never faltering. So when she scores an internship in NYC for her final year of visual arts at Columbia, she's ready to take on the world-even if it means leaving her brothers and everything she knows behind. Things get complicated when a housing mix-up leaves Piper stranded without her best friend and instead crashing with five of New York City's most notorious-and ridiculously attractive-bikers. But these guys aren't what they seem. Beneath the tough exteriors and tattoos, Piper discovers they're more like a pack of lovable, overprotective misfits than anything else. All except for Greyson Lowell. He's broody, standoffish, and frustratingly gorgeous-every bit the bad boy with a past he's not willing to talk about. Greyson has a way of looking at her that sends shivers down her spine, but getting close to him is like trying to crack a safe that's been welded shut. He's sworn off happiness, carrying the weight of a tragedy he can't seem to forget, and Piper's sunny smile only seems to remind him of what he thinks he doesn't deserve. But Piper isn't one to back down from a challenge. With her heart on her sleeve and kindness in spades, she's determined to break through Greyson's walls. And as sparks fly and tensions build, Piper discovers that there's more to Greyson than meets the eye-and that sometimes, the toughest hearts are just waiting for the right touch to open up.
