Maisie Bell
Ever since she can remember, Florence Gibson has had one goal: to tour the world as a musician, and outshine her absentee rockstar father. When her all-women, all-queer rock band Scorpio Season gets booked as the opening act for her idol’s European tour, Florence can’t believe their luck. There is only one problem: the band needs a drummer.
Luca Walsh has no idea where she’s going. Ever since she dropped out of university, her days have been a blur of shifts at the coffee shop, trying to remember if she took her ADHD medication, and lying in bed questioning her existence. When she stumbles upon a flyer searching for drummers in the area, she jumps at the chance to have a distraction.
Their first band meeting devolves into chaos when Florence realizes that Luca isn’t any stranger—she’s the woman Florence went home with not even twenty-four-hours earlier to have a reckless, mind-blowing, life-altering one-night-stand. But the show must go on. Through four weeks of performing together, hour-long car rides across Europe, and nights sharing beds in seedy hotel rooms, they try to hide their growing attraction—for the sake of the band that’s starting to feel more like a family, and all the dreams that suddenly seem within reach. As their music rises in the charts, so does the tension between them. With every new song feeling more like an emotional confession, how long can they keep their distance?

Reviews
“Bell’s sizzling debut…. The vivid prose comes complete with social media posts and news articles that add to the sense of immersion. Meanwhile, the characters are fully realized (Luca’s ADHD is especially well handled), and the emotional stakes are sky-high. This thrills.”
"Bell’s high heat but slow-burn queer love story is perfect for readers who are looking for emotionally fulfilling romances featuring 20-somethings who must manage their feelings along with their hopes, dreams, and identities."
"Maisie Bell has written a sapphic romance that spins like one of my favorite records. Florence and Luca’s chemistry, quiet yearning, and earnest affection sets up a gorgeous melody that draws you in, and the found family packed within is the chorus that will have you fist-pumping: victorious, dazzling, and fiercely proud."
