Here's some more info from our friends at Bloom Books:
From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Hartmann comes a new angsty, standalone contemporary romance.
I already had a life. A future. A man I'd promised forever to.
But the night I found Chase Rhodes—bleeding, broken, and more lost than I was—everything changed.
I wasn't supposed to let him in. Wasn't supposed to write music with him in secret beneath the moon.
What started as a quiet escape became something unstoppable. Our songs caught fire, and now the whole world knows our names.
Music has a way of pulling the broken together, even when the timing is impossible and the fallout inevitable.
But some hearts don't settle. Some songs were never meant to stay quiet.
Because the night I saved him was only the beginning.
And loving me might be the last risk he'll ever take.
“Music has always been my muse, and Pieces of the Night is the story that grew from that inspiration," Jennifer exclusively told Cosmopolitan. "It’s about fate, tragedy, broken notes, and the strange beauty that can happen when the right song hits at the wrong time."
