Some scars are visible.

Some are buried so deep they become part of who you are.

Lizzie Hartford knows all about both.

At twenty-four, she's spent years trying to outrun the ghosts of her past. Haunted by a car accident that stole her best friend, struggling with lupus, and carrying the weight of a childhood that taught her everything was her fault, she's learned one thing: trusting people only leads to heartbreak.

A fresh start in a small town is supposed to be exactly that-a fresh start.

Then she crashes into Brayden Grey.

Literally.

Brayden Grey is the lead singer of the world-famous band Echoes & Embers. To everyone else, he's talented, charming, and impossible to ignore. But behind the fame is a man carrying scars of his own-ones left by a past he never talks about and a town that once turned its back on him.

What begins as an accidental collision turns into late-night conversations, stolen smiles, and a friendship neither of them expected.

But healing isn't easy when you're convinced you're broken.

And love is terrifying when you've already lost so much.

As old wounds resurface and secrets threaten to tear them apart, Lizzie and Brayden will have to decide if the risk of loving someone is worth the possibility of losing them.

Because sometimes the people who save us are the ones we never saw coming.

And sometimes the hardest thing to do is believe you deserve to be saved.
