The Interlude - Tucker Pillsbury//ROLE MODEL

On tour, the lights aren't the only thing that burns hot.

⸻

Kyla never planned on joining a touring band - especially not one fronted by Tucker, the infuriating, magnetic singer she's been trying to avoid since a one-night mistake years ago. She signed on as part of the crew, ready to keep her head down and focus on work. But when the band's guitarist walks out mid-soundcheck, Kyla's hidden past slips into the open: a Juilliard graduate with a mastery of string instruments, she's the only one who can step in.

Now, the No Place Like Tour is rolling across the country with Kyla onstage, side by side with the man who doesn't remember - or so she thinks - the night that changed everything. Between late-night rehearsals, grungy green rooms, and the relentless chaos of tour life, old sparks flare into sharp-edged banter and teasing touches.

Kyla swore she wouldn't fall back into his orbit. Tucker swears he's just having fun. But as the shows get louder and the distance between them gets smaller, both of them might be playing a dangerous game - and neither's sure who's going to break first.
