Finnley Pierce has always been good at 

putting on a show.

As the youngest—and most flamboyant—member of Rough Harmony, he knows how to sparkle and hit impossible falsetto notes when it’s just the rest of the group.

What he doesn’t know how to do is believe he’s enough when faced with the prospect of a live audience. And then there’s the first album…

Adam Walton is the new sound engineer hired to create it. At first sight, he’s grumpy, focused, and completely unimpressed by Finnley’s glitter, flirting, or carefully polished confidence.

Until he hears Finnley sing alone. Really sing. Because behind the sequins is a voice full of pain, longing, and secrets. And suddenly Adam can’t stop listening.

Rough Harmony’s debut performance takes them to Berlin’s infamous Folsom Europe festival. Finnley is about to discover just how much freedom comes from being seen exactly as he is.

Especially when Adam is watching.

Adam knows better than to want a twenty-one-year-old singer who makes his pulse race and his carefully constructed walls crumble. But Finnley has a way of turning every rule into a challenge. And when the shy virgin behind the sparkle discovers he likes being the one in control, Adam is more than willing to let him take the lead.

And when the music stops?

Finnley has spent his whole life dealing with being abandoned. Why should Adam be any different to everyone else who’s walked out of his life?

Adam has spent three years refusing to use his own emotional voice. He communicates through sound engineering because it’s safer to manipulate someone else’s music than expose his own feelings.

Finnley hides behind noise. Adam hides behind silence.

And they’re going to force each other out of hiding.
