He ghosted her after one unforgettable night. Now he's back-with a wheelchair, a guitar, and her name still saved in his phone as THE Caroline.
Caroline Parker has a plan: build a business helping indie bands go big, forget the charming musician who vanished after a Chicago night she can't shake, and never, ever mix feelings with work. Easy.
Until Ben Carter shows up-six months later, newly paralyzed, painfully familiar, and about to become her newest client.
Ben was on his way to see her when the accident happened. Now he's relearning everything: how to live, how to play, and how to face the girl who made him want a future-right before his fell apart.
Thrown together by the comeback that could save his career, Caroline and Ben must navigate old sparks, new scars, and the music that brought them together in the first place.
Because the only thing messier than a second chance... is falling even harder.

A fierce music publicist heroine building her dream
Forced proximity on a comeback tour
