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 has a secret. Shes one of the most coveted songwriters in LA, and yet she cant 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 concerts at The Revelry, her familys music venue, will spark inspiration. But when Joni gets there, nothing is how she left it. Her best friend is hiding something, her mothers memories are fading fast, and The Revelry is closing.

How can Joni write when her world is leaving her behind?

Until she hears it. A melody in her head, lyric-less and half-formed, and an alluring and addictive voice to go with itbelonging, apparently, to a wry musician with an emptiness of his own.
