Naomi Abbott is a nurse who knows how to endure long shifts, sleepless nights, and a relationship that's been unraveling for years. She's held it all together with quiet grit and dreams she's too tired to chase. But a chance encounter with a world-famous singer sends her world spinning on its axis.
Thiago Rhodes is a singer who knows how to shine-on stage, in headlines, and beneath the constant glow of a world that always demands more. He's built his life around flawless performances and practiced smiles, even as the pressure mounts and the quiet moments grow harder to find. Night after night, the music drowns out what he's afraid to face. But when a grounded, no-nonsense nurse unexpectedly cuts through the noise, Thiago feels something shift.
He begins to wonder what it means to finally be still-and if love might be the key to finding himself again.

Love is louder after the encore. But only if they're brave enough to listen.Complete
