About this book

When Courtney takes the stage as an ASL interpreter for a rock band, she comes face-to-face with Joshua—the childhood best friend who ghosted her a decade ago without explanation. Their reunion is electric and painful all at once, stirring up old wounds she thought she'd buried. Now, with a career-changing opportunity dangling in front of her, Courtney has to decide if she's brave enough to let Joshua back into her life, or if protecting her heart means walking away for good. This is a beautiful second-chance romance about finding the courage to trust again, even when trust was broken long ago.
