When Raven's childhood crush turns out to be her roommate's cousin, she thinks she's finally getting her fairytale—except Nick's still too caught up in his rock star life to offer her anything real. Years of late-night calls and friends-with-benefits arrangement keep her clinging to hope, so when he invites her on tour, she dares to believe he's finally ready for something more. But life has a wicked sense of timing, and one unexpected plot twist threatens to upend everything she thought she wanted. This is a swoon-worthy second-chance romance about learning that sometimes the best love stories aren't the ones we planned, and that real connection means showing up for each other when things get messy.
