Melody

For a while now, Kyle has been working on himself. After the death of his brother and breaking up with his long-time girlfriend, he knew something had to change.

Rehab and an insightful therapist haven't hurt.

Kyle's finally in a place where he feels like he can try again with someone new—and he's set his sights on the adorable but standoffish bartender at the venue where his band is playing bigger shows. And, after their first conversation, he knows there's hope. He just needs to be persistent, a skill he's learned fighting addiction.

But Scarlett, said bartender, is not who she seems. Not at all. Well, maybe the personality she can't conceal—but everything else, from her name to her hair color, is a disguise.

She's running, hiding…so why did Kyle have to come along and notice her?

What's worse, he seems completely different from her ex. It's not long before she finds herself irresistibly attracted to the hot guitarist with the captivating smile.

But her past won't stay hidden forever…meaning what she and Kyle find together is destined to end all too soon.
