The Sound That Found Me

Now Available for Preorder!

At sixteen, Heather Brown meets a boy on vacation who changes the way the world sounds. One summer. One connection. And then it’s over—before either of them knows how to hold on.

Fifteen years later, Heather’s life looks exactly the way it’s supposed to. She’s engaged. Her career is thriving. Her future is mapped out in sensible, adult decisions. What she doesn’t have is the feeling she’s spent years convincing herself she outgrew.

Bradley Hart carried it with him.

He turned that summer into music—and the music into a career. Now a rising star, Bradley’s songs are built on memory, longing, and the girl who taught him what it meant to feel something that deep for the first time.

When Heather hears one of his songs, it doesn’t feel like nostalgia. It feels like a message.

Reaching out reconnects them in a way that’s immediate, complicated, and impossible to ignore—but timing has teeth now. Heather isn’t free. Bradley isn’t just a memory. And choosing him would mean unraveling a life she’s already promised to someone else.

This time, the question isn’t whether first love lasts.

It’s whether telling the truth—about who you were, who you became, and who you still want to be—is worth everything it might cost.
