Backstage Bruises - Jesse Rutherford

He was music, tattoos, late nights, and a life that never seemed to slow down.
She became the one thing that made Jesse want to stay still.

What starts as an unexpected connection slowly turns into something deeper as Jesse and Ella find themselves tangled in each other's lives-through crowded shows, recording studios, cigarette smoke, city lights, romance, hard conversations, and quiet nights spent wrapped up together.

Between Jesse's growing music career, the people surrounding them, and the weight of learning how to fully let someone in, the two of them build a relationship filled with loyalty, patience, passion, and the kind of love that feels like home.

For the first time in a long time, everything finally feels right.
Which is exactly what makes it so terrifying to lose.
