Aisling Murphy's followers think they know her — the Irish travel vlogger with the easy laugh and the enviable life. None of them know about the bruises she edits out of frame before she posts. But they all know the man who put them there.
When she finally runs — from Dublin and the powerfully connected fiancé who nearly killed her — she lands in Nashville with nothing but a friend's spare room and a body that still flinches at raised voices. And there, in a jazz club on a Wednesday night, she meets Asher Belue: a blind trumpeter who somehow sees her more clearly than anyone ever has.
But the man Aisling left behind does not lose what he believes he owns. When Aidan reaches across an ocean to take back the life she's building — and the man she's learning to love — Aisling discovers that the one weapon he never feared is the voice he spent years trying to silence.
To be free, she'll have to tell the truth out loud, to everyone. And she'll have to decide what that freedom is worth, when the cost of it is destroying a man some broken part of her still loves.
A novel about what it takes to leave, what it costs to heal, and what it means — finally — to be seen.
