After secrets, silence, and survival, Emma Hartgrave and Liam Teller have to decide: is their love worth the truth? Even if it burns everything to the ground.
A gritty, emotionally explosive, trauma-informed romance about what it means to fight for love after everything—and everyone—has tried to break you.
The band is back in L.A. Emma and Liam are finally together.
“Happily ever after” was never going to be simple.
Fresh off a whirlwind press tour in New York—and basking in the glow of a new relationship status, a chart-topping sixth album on the way (Revelations), and Liam’s spotlight-stealing solo collabs—the Hartgrave Tellers are finally breathing again.
Until they can’t.
When Emma’s home is broken into after a party—and two of her closest friends from the Heartbreakers Era suddenly go missing—the balance they fought so hard to build begins to splinter.
As Emma, Cara, and Marcus dig into the past for answers, long-buried secrets claw their way back to the surface. Old loyalties fracture. Trust frays. And the band who’s weathered every storm may be staring down its deadliest one yet.
Because some ghosts don’t stay buried.
And some stories refuse to end quietly.
