Counterpoint by Hailey Frost

Old and new wounds. Sparks in the air. And one road trip they’ll never forget.

Leaving the city was supposed to be a fresh start—a chance to escape the wreckage of my last relationship and breathe again. A quiet, drama-free road trip home was all I wanted.
But my brother has other plans. Now, I’m stuck sharing the drive with his grumpy best friend—the same man who rejected me years ago and can’t seem to stand being in the same room as me.
Too bad for him… I’m not that lovestruck girl anymore.
Simon
With the band on break, I feel restless—like I’m waiting for something to happen. So when my bandmate insists I tag along on a road trip with his sister, I figure it’ll be miserable.
And at first? It is. She’s infuriating. Too stubborn, too fiery, too tempting for her own good.
But the more miles we put behind us, the more I realize… I don’t hate her. Not even close. In fact, the feelings I buried all those years ago? They’re coming back fast—and this time, they’re impossible to ignore.
But is this just a detour… or the start of something real?
