She’s the girl the world calls broken. He’s the boy the world expects to win.

 

Violet Adair has lived her life in the spotlight—The Blue Queen of stage and scandal. To the world, she’s a chart-topping icon with a voice that could burn down arenas. But behind the headlines and flashing cameras hides a girl fractured by grief, secrets, and the weight of carrying a family she’s not sure she deserves.

 

When Violet and her sisters return to their Alabama roots, she doesn’t expect to find freedom in anonymity—or to crash headfirst into Tanner McGrey, the golden boy quarterback with everything to lose. Tanner is steady where she’s storm, hope where she’s haunted. And when the two collide, they ignite something neither fame nor fear can smother.

 

But love in the public eye is never simple. Paparazzi shadows, betrayals from the past, and Violet’s own belief that she isn’t worthy of happiness threaten to unravel everything. To heal, she’ll have to confront old wounds—including the darkest secret of her childhood—and decide whether she’s ready to stop running.

 

Heartbreak, healing, and second chances collide in a sweeping story about sisterhood, music, and love that refuses to fade.

 

Perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and anyone who believes love deserves an encore.
