When a funeral brings musical superstar Rebel back home, she reconnects with Weston—the only person who's ever truly understood her and seen past her fame to the real woman beneath. Their childhood bond reignites instantly, but danger follows her back to town, forcing the protective billionaire into his element: keeping her safe. As threats escalate and walls come down, the line between friendship and desire blurs in the most irresistible way. This is a swoon-worthy second-chance romance where two people finally get the chance to be more than just the friends they've always been.
Reading soundtrack
Sensual indie-pop and sultry R&B for rekindled chemistry, protective devotion, and walls crumbling under desire. Think smoldering slow-burns with contemporary edge—artists like SZA, The Weeknd, Daniel Caesar. Tension building between trust and passion.
