Pretty When It Burns (When The Lights Go Down #1)

Mia I’ve built my career staying behind the lens, behind the scenes—exactly where I belong.

But when fate throws me straight into the orbit of the one man I never truly got over, everything I’ve kept tightly held starts to unravel. Grayson Harris. My childhood crush.

The boy across the street turned alt-rock god with tattoos, a tortured soul, and a voice that still makes my heart stutter. I promised myself I wouldn’t fall for him. That I couldn’t.

But Grayson doesn’t play fair. And somewhere between the music, the grief, and the chaos, he’s breaking through every wall I’ve built.

Grayson My world is on fire. A band on the edge of fame, a marriage in ashes, and the mother that didn’t give me a chance to know her slipping away from me before we could fix it. Then she shows up.

Mia Alexander. The one person who looked at me like I was worth something—before the world ever did. She’s calm in the chaos. Sharp behind the camera and soft where it counts.

I should keep my distance. I’m too broken, too bitter, too much. But Mia is the only thing that feels real anymore. And if I don’t find a way to hold onto her, I might lose myself for good.

Pretty When It Burns is a slow-burn, emotionally charged contemporary romance about second chances, unspoken love, and finding light in the wreckage.

The first installation of the When The Lights Go Down series of interconnected stand-alone novels, Mia and Grayson’s story will leave you wanting more long after the final song ends.
