One photoshoot. Two broken hearts. A second chance that could cost them everything.
When music producer Phil Rothstein sold his father’s song catalog without permission, he thought he was expanding their family business—now his father has dementia, and Phil will do anything to get those songs back.
Celebrity photographer turned photojournalist Claire Morgan returns to New York haunted by PTSD and desperate for work. She needs this job to honor a promise to a fallen friend. Her assignment? Photograph Phil Rothstein, the man she’s wanted for five years but could never have.
Their reunion ignites into something neither expected, but Phil’s enemy holds the key to everything—the catalog Phil desperately needs and the money Claire’s fighting for. One photoshoot could give them both what they want, but Claire’s unresolved trauma tests their newfound romance. Phil faces an impossible choice between protecting the woman he loves and recovering his father’s legacy before memory fades forever.
