Synopsis

Detroit, 1997. After a showstopping performance at the Artemis Club, Paloma is poised to take the music world by storm and represent her city on the world stage. Her girlfriend and manager extraordinaire, Jace, is determined to make Paloma into the indie star she knows she can be. But when Paloma disappears from the public eye in 2001, Jace is left alone to pick up the pieces.

Two decades later, Jace has built a new life without Paloma. Leaving music behind is the best thing she’s ever done, but when she hears that the Artemis Club is about to go under, she’s willing to do anything it takes to keep this piece of Detroit’s history alive—even if it means searching for Paloma. After all, Paloma’s early 2000s hit has just gone viral on social media, and she’s the one person whose star power can rescue the club. While Jace isn’t eager to reopen old wounds, closure might be nice … plus, she’s still single, having spent twenty years comparing all her potential love interests to Paloma—and they’ve all come up short. But Paloma has her own reasons for not wanting to be found.

With the Artemis Club’s fate hanging in the balance, Jace and Paloma find themselves drawn back into the world they once ruled…and towards each other. This dual POV, second-chance romance is sapphic celebration of the garage band era—and the power of love and music to spark new beginnings.
