Some hearts never stop singing the same song.
Audrey doesn’t believe in fairytales—especially not the kind where a long-lost pen pal grows up to become a rockstar... and forgets her.

Years later, she’s grounded, thriving in a promising career, and guarding a heart that’s learned not to hope. But when fate throws Drew—now a global sensation and the ghost of her teenage years—back into her life as her new neighbor, everything she thought she'd buried begins to rise.

He’s still magnetic. Still infuriating.
Still the boy who used to call her after every show.

And he remembers everything.

What begins as a cautious reconnection spirals into a slow-burning storm of music, memories, and feelings they never quite had the courage to explore. But Drew’s past is darker than she imagined, and Audrey’s walls are higher than ever.

Can a rockstar with a broken rhythm and a girl who learned to dance alone find harmony again?

Or is it all just… make believe?

Make-believe with my Rockstar

There he is again—for the second time tonight—flush against me, arms wrapped around my waist like vines. I feel his breath at the crook of my neck, warm and unyielding. It sends a shiver down my spine. 


I’ve been fighting this... fighting you. And now you're doing this? 


“Umm... Drew,” I murmur, trying to keep my voice even. “You’re hanging on me like a backpack.” 


He chuckles—low, sinful, and far too amused. 


“I’m a comfy backpack,” he replies. 


I don’t have to look to know he’s smiling. I can feel the smirk curling on his lips as they ghost over my skin, brushing lightly against the shell of my ear. 


“What do you think you’re doing?” I whisper. 


His voice is husky and dangerous, more honest than it has any right to be. Before I can move or process, his hands shift—smooth, certain—and he spins me to face him.
