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

I try to roll lazily to the side, ready to melt into the weekend, but something’s holding me back. 


My breath catches, panic blooming in my chest. I don’t even know what I feel—just that it’s too much. Shame. Ache. A high I haven’t come down from. 


But now I’m suspended somewhere between craving and regret, floating in that terrible space where nothing feels safe. 


His voice grazes my neck, sleep-rough and warm. I can feel the grin in it as he pulls me closer. 


My stomach flips. I let out a shaky breath. 


“Not even if I make breakfast?” I half-tease, half-plead, desperate to shift before the weight of everything that just happened crushes me. 


His arm loosens, but before I can move, his lips brush my shoulder, then the curve of my neck.
