After losing her mom, Emerson Hasting is desperate for a change of scenery. Between her barista job, the endless sympathy from everyone around her, and the memories of her mom waiting around every corner, she's stuck in a cycle of grief she can't seem to escape. So when the lead singer of her favorite band needs a nanny for his farewell tour, Emerson jumps at the chance to leave it all behind.

Mateo Lane should be focused on giving his band the send-off it deserves. Instead, he's facing the end of the career he's spent half his life building while trying to figure out how to bring his young son on a cross-country tour after an unexpected change in plans with his ex-wife. Life on the road is complicated enough. Doing it as a single parent? Nearly impossible. Hiring Emerson is supposed to make things easier, not turn his world upside down. But somewhere between overnight bus rides, sold-out arenas, and late-night conversations, the chemistry between them grows into something neither can ignore. Emerson never expected to fall for the man behind the music, and Mateo definitely didn't plan on falling for the one woman who is completely off-limits. They agree that one night together is all it can be—except one night becomes stolen moments, lingering touches, and feelings that refuse to stay contained.

As the final stop on the tour draws closer, so does the reality neither of them can avoid. Emerson will have to return to the life she left behind, and Mateo will have to figure out who he is without the band that has defined him for years. What they found on the road was supposed to be temporary. But when the music ends, will they walk away—or fight for the chance at something that could last long after the final encore?
