From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a nostalgic second-chance romance of mixtapes, dial-up confessions, and the one boy who broke her heart before the world ever knew his name. He was my first love. My first heartbreak. The boy who made the one mistake I’ll never forgive. Roderick Wilder and I grew up side by side—two kids tangled up in music, mixtapes, and lyrics that felt like they belonged only to us. Then he destroyed everything we had and disappeared, chasing a future without me. Twelve years later, he’s back. Not the rising star I remember, but a man who’s broken, scarred, and desperate to rewrite his story. The problem? I’ve already started falling for someone else—an anonymous stranger I trade late-night messages with, sharing lyrics and reliving the bands that shaped us. He feels safe. He feels new. He feels like everything Roderick isn’t. But soon I might need to choose between the stranger who makes me believe again . . . and the boy who once destroyed me.

Book 2 of the heartbreak mixtapes series, a nostalgic romance

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a slow-burn, mistaken-identity romance about hidden fame, second chances at life, and the woman who accidentally falls for a rockstar in disguise. I plan other people’s love stories for a living. Perfect nights. Perfect moments. Perfect control. So when my guitarist cancels an hour before a high-profile event, I do what any professional would do—panic quietly and pray for a miracle. Then he walks in. Late. Soaked from the rain. Incredibly handsome. Unapologetically charming. A man I absolutely shouldn’t notice. He plays music like the storm outside taught him how to feel. He saves the night. And without meaning to, he starts unraveling mine. I don’t know that he’s a world-famous musician in hiding. I only know that when he looks at me, the world stops spinning. I build love stories for other people. It’s chaotic, but it’s always strategic, straight-forward. But this time, the one falling—hard, fast, and completely unplanned—is me. There’s no seating chart that can contain, or explain, the storm that is Dexter Vaughn. But maybe his humor, guitars, and big heart is exactly what I need to build my own breathtaking love story.
