A hiking trail mishap. A fake name. And the global rockstar hiding in a small Irish village.
Adina is the sunniest tour guide in Wicklow, though she uses her local expertise to mask the questions she has about her own past. She knows every inch of the Great Sugar Loaf, and exactly how to steer "flatland" tourists away from the edge. When she finds a brooding, designer-clad hiker nearly tumbling down a gorse-covered slope, she assumes he’s just another city slicker who underestimated the Irish wind.
Jax is the lead singer of Yellow, the biggest rock band on the planet. Burned out and one breakdown away from a total collapse, he flees to Ireland under a pseudonym, pretending to be a quiet music teacher on sabbatical. He came for the silence, but he wasn’t prepared for the sharp-witted woman who catches him at his lowest, literally.
The problem? In the blooming hills of a Wicklow spring, Jax falls first—and he falls hard. But his "normal life" is a performance, and the secret of his real identity is a ticking time bomb. If Adina finds out he’s been lying since the moment she grabbed his hand on that hillside, he won't just lose his sanctuary; he'll lose the only woman who sees the man behind the fame.
Escaping the spotlight was easy. Keeping his heart hidden from the woman who caught him? That’s the real challenge.
