For three years, grief has been Julian’s only companion. A brilliant musician, he’s been frozen in time since his wife’s death. But his self-imposed silence is shattered when he’s ambushed into accepting the Musical Director position for a local theatre production. The problem? The director is Helena Shepherd—the woman whose heart he broke thirty years ago, now seeking a new start of her own.

Forced to work together, the unresolved tension between them is a dissonant chord in a room full of music. But as they collaborate, the friction softens into a slow-burn reconnection, revealing a love that never truly faded.
