Charlotte Green has always done the right thing.

​

The right grades. The right career. The right fiancé. Now back in her hometown, she’s weeks away from marrying Thomas Grace—the town’s golden boy and everyone’s idea of perfect. But when childhood friend turned rockstar Ryder Lawson crashes back into her life, everything Charlotte thought she wanted starts to crack at the edges.

​

Ryder was the boy next door with a crooked smile and a talent for chaos. Now he’s a world-famous musician with a reputation for trouble—and eyes that still see straight through her. What starts as playful banter turns into late-night conversations, old memories, and sparks she’s tried for years to forget.

As gossip swirls and pressure mounts, Charlotte finds herself caught between who she was raised to be and who she might still become. And Ryder? He’s spent a decade running from anything that looks like home. But Charlotte was never just home—she was his.

​

Can a girl who’s always followed the rules choose the one thing that might finally set her free? And can a man who’s always been untethered finally find a reason to stay?
