Joni Lark has a secret. She’s one of the most coveted songwriters in LA, and yet she can’t write. There’s an emptiness inside her, and nothing seems to fill it.
Description
When she returns to her hometown of Vienna Shores, North Carolina, she hopes that the sand, the surf, and the concerts at The Revelry, her family’s music venue, will spark inspiration. But when Joni gets there, nothing is how she left it. Her best friend is hiding something, her mother’s memories are fading fast, and The Revelry is closing.
How can Joni write when her world is leaving her behind?
Until she hears it. A melody in her head, lyric-less and half-formed, and an alluring and addictive voice to go with it—belonging, apparently, to a wry musician with an emptiness of his own.
Surely, he’s a figment of Joni’s overworked imagination.
Then a very real man shows up in Vienna Shores. He’s arrogant and guarded—nothing like the sweet, funny voice in Joni’s head—and he has a plan for breaking their inconvenient telepathic connection: finish the song haunting them both and hope they don’t risk their hearts—or their secrets—in the process.
Because that melody, the one drawing them together . . . what if it’s there for a reason?
Praise and Reviews

"If you're a sucker for a big-city-girl-returns-to-save-the-family-business story with a magical, musical twist, Ashley Poston's latest should be your summer read . . . It's funny, romantic, a little mystical."—The Nod Mag------------------------
"This moving romance will delight Poston’s fans and should earn her plenty of new ones."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)-----------------
"Poston (A Novel Love Story) explores grief and regret while inspiring hope in love with poetic banter and the comfort of a close-knit, eccentric, and humorous family . . . Poston writes another lyrical and magical tale set in a cozy beach town that will make readers want to savor reading it while sitting on the sand themselves. Hand to those who also enjoy B.K. Borison and Tarah DeWitt."—Library Journal-----------------------
"Poston is comfortingly adept at creating complex characters who are kind, and surrounding them with realistic friends and family, while making the world of music writing, a small coastal town, and its music venue feel real."—Booklist
