The Heart's Cadence

AMBROSE SERIES #3 (Soon)

Nadia Rue Kim was never allowed to dream.

Raised to become the perfect daughter, the perfect beauty queen, and the perfect version of someone else's expectations, her life has always been decided for her. Behind every polished smile, however, is a girl who secretly longs to create music instead of merely performing a role.

Then she meets Elijah Keith Javier-a purple-haired bassist who lives by one rule, never leave life with regrets.

When Nadia asks him to teach her guitar, Elijah offers an absurd deal instead.

Fake date him until the end of the first semester. In exchange, he'll teach her everything he knows about music.

It should've been simple.

Just borrowed feelings, rehearsed moments, and a relationship with an expiration date.

But somewhere between stolen melodies, shared dreams, and the rhythm of youth, Nadia begins to wonder if some of the most beautiful things in life were never meant to be rehearsed at all.

When every song must one day reach its final cadence, will Nadia find the courage to follow her own heart before the music fades?
