Maggie has just arrived in the coastal town of Cartagena to start a new life with her little brother. After her tragic past, she is determined to lie low and avoid any form of trouble. And that means avoiding Stazz, an infamous DJ who has a knack for leaving trouble anywhere he goes. But life seems to have a different plan for her because yet and yet again, she finds herself gravitating toward Stazz. And like a moth drawn to light, she allowed herself to be lured; despite knowing that one day, it might eventually kill her.
Stazz has secrets. One of them is looking alive despite feeling dead inside. He endures life through his love for music and the early morning beach view from his hometown, Cartagena. Meeting Maggie, the new girl with her beautiful singing and soft gaze, reminded him of both. With her, life seems easy, there is hope, and he starts to live again---until one by one, his secrets start to catch up with them.
A story about two rejects, lost and wandering.
Until one particular town, one particular beat, crossed their ruined roads and made them realize that life isn't as horrible as they thought it was.

Prologue Somewhere between destiny and detour, their paths collided. Liana Francisco never planned to fall in love during a two-month escape in Manila. A small-town girl with soil on her hands and sun in her laughter, she only wanted a break-a wild city adventure with her best friends before going back to running her family's beloved farm. But fate had a different map in mind. Enter Maximilian Blackwood-cold, calculating, and the living embodiment of the word untouchable. A powerful businessman with a sharp tongue and an even sharper past, he believed love was a weakness. He lived by rules, not feelings.
