It's better for everyone that I disappeared. At least, my ex thought so when he left me for dead. Then Cash—my childhood best friend turned country music star—sings his heartbreak for the world, one song at a time. And somehow, I know… they're all meant for me. I tell myself none of it matters.

Then a viper with fake lashes and even faker intentions latches onto his fame, and suddenly, my excuses don't matter. It's time to stop hiding. Time to go home.
