The Words

Phoenix Walker is the kind of musician the world worships, a talented bad boy with a spotlight that pulls everyone close. For the narrator, he was also first love, first heartbreak, and the person who made her feel seen before he tore it all apart. She never expects to cross paths with him again, until fate drops them onto the same tour: eight weeks on the road, forty shows, and far too many chances to reopen old wounds. With the world still convinced Phoenix can do no wrong, she’s left weighing revenge against the messy, magnetic pull of a history she can’t quite outrun.
