Ava Morgahn arrives in Nashville with nothing but a fierce dream and a burning determination to make her mark in country music, but the city is shadowed by an unsettling rise in crime-a serial killer is lurking in the darkness.
With a shaky plan and a head full of hope, Ava secures a modest apartment and takes a job waiting tables at a popular bar, hoping desperately to land her first chance to perform on stage.
Then, fate throws her into the path of Owen Layne, a brooding rising star in the cutthroat world of country music. Despite battling his own demons and being haunted by a tragic past, Owen and Ava’s connection is instantaneous, a magnetic spark neither can ignore. Is it love at first sight-or something more dangerous?
When Ava suddenly stops communicating, Owen is left reeling, torn between doubt and longing. Was their connection just a fleeting spark, or is there something deeper at play? As the city shudders under the terror of a serial killer who has already claimed multiple victims, Owen wonders if Ava’s disappearance is merely a coincidence-or if she’s become the killer’s next target.
