Author's note / before you start

In the vibrant, unpredictable chaos of a recording studio, a pragmatic composer's world is upended by Maddox-an intern with no musical knowledge but an unnerving amount of charm. What starts as an exasperating inconvenience becomes an unexpected partnership, pushing them through creative struggles and personal doubts. Maddox challenges her guarded approach to music-and life-until she realizes too late how much he's gotten under her skin. But Maddox has his own walls, ones he refuses to let crack, no matter who tries to see past them.
