Now he’s back—music’s hottest new thing. And he wants me by his side. CONNOR Eloise Mitchell was a blazing fire when my world turned dark. She shined so bright and burned so fierce that the wall I built around myself simply melted to the ground at her feet. She showed me that music was my gift, and to use it to speak. She was my voice, my one true love, my everything. Ellie’s heart belonged to me. And even though I broke it, I was sure as hell gonna fix it. "I have no words to describe this book, really. It's sort of like Jojo Moyes meets Nicholas Sparks meets Romeo & Juliet. It's most definitely a love story - a wonderful one, with a beautiful start and a scary, yet even better, ending." ~ Reviewer
