A hitmaking songwriter and a bitter musician share a startling and inexplicable connection that theyll do anything to shake, in the next sparkling, magical book from Ashley Poston.

Joni Lark is living the dream. Shes one of the most coveted songwriters in LAand she cant seem to write. Theres an emptiness inside her, and nothing seems to fill it.

When she returns to her hometown of Vienna Shores, North Carolina, she hopes that the sand, the surf, and the concertsat The Revelry, her familys music venue, willspark her inspiration. But when she gets there, nothing is how she left it. Her best friend is avoiding her, her mothers memories are fading fast, and The Revelry is closing.

Theyll finish the song haunting them both, break their connection, and hope they dont risk their hearts in the process.

Because that song stuck in their heads? Maybe its there for a reason.
