When Sadie takes over her struggling mother's housekeeping job for the summer, she never expects the house's owner to be Jax Stone—a globally famous teen rocker who's used to getting everything he wants. What starts as just another gig becomes complicated fast when Jax finds himself utterly captivated by the one girl who couldn't care less about his celebrity status. Despite his best efforts to keep things professional (and his growing certainty that she deserves someone better than the chaos of his world), Jax discovers that Sadie has become absolutely essential to him. This is a swoon-worthy summer romance about two people from completely different worlds finding something real in the most unexpected place.
Reading soundtrack
Capture the tension of unguarded attraction and slow-burn chemistry—indie pop and alternative rock with moments of vulnerability. Think dreamy vocals, electric guitar, and sultry R&B undertones. Moody yet hopeful, with the energy of late-night conversations and stolen glances.
