Megan arrives in a sleepy Oregon coastal town ready to rebuild her life through the B&B she and her late husband always dreamed of opening—but the gruff, scarred contractor she needs most seems determined to push her away at every turn. As Theo reluctantly helps her transform the old Victorian, their clashing wills slowly give way to an undeniable connection, and Megan finds herself drawn to the wounded man behind his silence. But when strange coincidences and unsettling parallels to her past begin surfacing, Megan must decide whether to chase down the truth or risk losing a second chance at love. This is a beautifully tender story about two broken people discovering that sometimes healing means embracing the mysteries we're afraid to uncover.

Haunting indie folk meets moody R&B—think Bon Iver, Phoebe Bridgers, and SZA. Layered with atmospheric slow-burn longing, whispered vocals, and cinematic strings. Wounded yet hopeful. Coastal melancholy mixed with quiet passion and second-chance electricity.
