About this book

Caspian Gray is a talented drummer spiraling through the rock-and-roll lifestyle, sent to an exclusive rehab center where he's determined to lay low and get back to his band—until the persistently optimistic Rowan Davies crashes into his world and refuses to be ignored. As these two damaged souls navigate the messy reality of recovery and connection, they'll have to decide whether their bond can be built on something more solid than shared pain and desperate coping mechanisms. With genuine vulnerability hidden beneath bravado and charm, their collision becomes impossible to resist, even when both of them are terrified of falling. This is a deeply emotional second-chance romance about two men learning that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is let someone actually see you.

“Create a playlist called Wounded. Raw indie rock and vulnerable alt-pop for two broken souls finding refuge in forced closeness. Mix moody guitar-driven tracks with intimate R&B undertones—think The National meets Frank Ocean. Capture the tension between walls coming down and hands reaching across the space between them.”
