As a disciplined curator at one of New York's most prestigious art galleries, Eleanor Chamberland is preparing for the most important exhibition of her career-an exhibit centered around inner peace and tranquility. She has worked tirelessly to ensure that everything is perfect for the opening night, but since that night was overshadowed by the appearance of a reckless and rebellious hard rock star named Leo Harrison-who shares the same name as the ambient music artist famous for his meditative soundscapes with Tibetian singing bowl-nothing in Eleanor's life has gone according to plan.
Though they seem to come from completely opposite worlds, their paths keep crossing. Leo's unexpected success at the exhibition opening unsettles Eleanor, and an undeniable physical attraction begins to grow between them. However, mysterious events within the gallery, accusatory whispers directed at Ellie, and the shadows of Leo's own troubled past pull them both into a much larger conflict.
In a story where art and music converge, where passions and secrets are laid bare, Ellie and Leo's lives will be changed forever. In this world where innocence is tested and loyalty questioned, they must learn to trust one another-or risk losing everything.
As art and music intertwine, and with romance, true friendship, and high tension at the heart of this tale, the question remains: Can they find true love amidst the chaos?
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
