"I told you once that you were background noise, Elias. I was wrong. You're the only thing I hear anymore."
Five years ago, Elias Thorne was the boy who didn't exist. He wasn't the jock, he wasn't the nerd-he was the silence between the notes. He spent his high school years staring at the back of Chloe Vance's head, writing songs she'd never hear and nursing a hope that would eventually destroy him.
Then came the bonfire. One question. One brutal rejection that went viral before "viral" was even a word. Chloe didn't just break his heart; she erased his dignity in front of the only world he knew.
Now, the world has a different name for him.
Elias is no longer the boy in the back of the class. He's the voice on every radio station, the face on every billboard, and the artist selling out stadiums from London to LA. He's spent five years building a fortress of fame to drown out the memory of a girl who told him he was nothing.
But when a tour stop lands him in a rain-slicked dive bar in the middle of nowhere, he finds a ghost serving drinks behind the counter.
Chloe Vance isn't the Queen Bee anymore. She's tired, she's breaking, and she doesn't recognize the man under the designer jacket and the cold, distant eyes.
He wants revenge. She needs a miracle. And the music is just beginning.
