The Lyric of Memory

By: Cohen, Hilari T.

A second-chance contemporary romance about two former rock stars, the tragedy that ended their marriage, and the wedding-day duet that could bring them back together. Emotional music-world romance of fame, family and redemption.

One Stage. One Song. Decades of Silence.

Once, Madeline Ellis and Tom Seymour were the most famous pop-rock duo of the 1980s. Their music filled stadiums, their marriage captivated the world, and their future seemed unstoppable, until one devastating event tore them apart and ended everything.

Decades later, Maddie lives a quiet, secluded life far from the spotlight. Then her son Nate makes one simple request: he wants his parents to reunite and perform together at his wedding.

For Nate, it's a dream. For Maddie, it's impossible.

Standing on the same stage as Tom means facing the memories she's spent years trying to outrun. It also means facing what really happened all those years ago.

As old wounds reopen and the past comes calling, Maddie has to weigh whether one night of music is worth risking the fragile life she has built, and the heart she once lost to Tom.

The Lyric of Memory is a standalone second-chance romance, for readers who love rock-and-roll pasts, reunited lovers, family reconciliation and redemption after heartbreak. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Taylor Jenkins Reid and Carley Fortune.
