Nora's voice is big, but her hometown is small. At 23, she's stuck pulling pints in her Dad's struggling seaside pub, dreaming of country stardom while the waves crash outside her bedroom window. It all feels impossibly far away... until her idol, country superstar Cody Day, offers her a spot as the opening act on his US tour.
Suddenly, Nora's life is all studios, spotlights, and sleepless nights. And Cody? He's infuriating, gorgeous, and not at all who she expected. As sparks fly and her career takes off, Nora finds herself caught between the life she's always wanted and the one she might be falling for.
With everything on the line, her dreams, her heart, and the home she left behind, Nora has to decide: is chasing the spotlight worth leaving love in the shadows?

She learned to live with the silence he left behind. He learned to live with the regret of leaving her. Now, fate has thrown Mason and Ella together again- in the most unexpected place, on the most ordinary day. But nothing about seeing each other feels ordinary. It feels like the past rushing back. It feels like the pieces of a love story trying to fit again. But can she trust him after the way he left? And can he prove that this time, he's here to stay? Because sometimes love doesn't end.
