Hold You Close

His entire career was built on hating her. Now she's standing in the crowd.

Murphy Etsam's rise to rockstar fame came on the back of a breakup song composed of pure fury — a song that made him famous and turned Mila Trask into a ghost he couldn't stop chasing. For a year, he's tried to drown his guilt in every city on tour.

Then he sees her in the crowd. And he knows he hasn't buried a single thing.

Mila has every reason to walk away. Murphy is her wound—the man who sold her heartbreak. Letting him close again could break her for good, and she isn't sure forgiveness is in her nature.

But the man standing in front of her isn't the one who left. And the connection that never died between them refuses to wait while they decide what to do about it.
