When Lily finds herself stuck on a week-long road trip with Aspen—the charming playboy who broke her heart years ago—she's determined to keep things strictly in the past. But Aspen has other plans: he's convinced their drive from Texas to South Carolina is his chance to finally prove he's changed and win her back. What unfolds is a delicious battle of wills filled with witty banter, simmering tension, and two people who can't seem to stay away from each other no matter how hard they try. Perfect for anyone who loves a second-chance romance with serious chemistry and the kind of bickering that barely masks deeper feelings.
Reading soundtrack
Indie pop and alternative rock with electric tension and chemistry. Witty, flirtatious energy meets deep vulnerability. Think bright acoustic moments, sultry R&B undertones, and songs about second chances and irresistible pull. Nostalgic yet hopeful.
