He’s the man the music world forgot.
She’s the one it refuses to forgive.
When thirty-eight-year-old former rock legend turned producer Quentin Russo agrees to help salvage the career of Raine Dennison—a Gen Z pop-punk star clawing her way back from public collapse—he expects a paycheck and a shot at professional redemption.
What he doesn’t expect is her.
Raine’s talent is undeniable. So are the scars she hides beneath her bravado. And, as Quentin pushes her to tell the truth in her music, he finds himself confronting the very demons that once destroyed his own career.
Their creative chemistry is volatile.
Their attraction is reckless.
And the label has a plan to exploit it.
They want a fake romance to sell the comeback.
But real feelings don’t follow a well-laid-out plan.
In an industry that feeds on spectacle, where one mistake can go viral and forgiveness is never guaranteed, falling for each other could cost them everything—or force them to decide what’s really worth losing.
