The Way It Was Before

Autumn Lyne is used to living in the background, but that changes when her sister drags her into the orbit of a band at their high school. That’s where she meets Michael, the brooding lead guitarist who is as talented as he is complicated. But first love isn’t always a fairytale. As Autumn falls for him, she’s forced to navigate his heavy past and her own old wounds. She soon learns that even the deepest connection can’t fix a broken soul—and sometimes the greatest act of love is letting go.
