One Last Verse

Some songs haunt you. This one rewrites you.

Harper Guidry doesn’t chase chaos—but she’s drawn to it, especially when it sings in Southern chords and wears a crooked smile. A food stylist and single mother trying to keep her footing, Harper meets Mason Rudd, an almost-famous musician with a rust-washed voice and a thousand quiet detonations buried in his past.

Their connection is electric, reckless—and impossible to hold without getting burned.

Set in the smoky bars and motel rooms of the Louisiana music circuit, One Last Verse unravels a love story laced with addiction, manipulation, and the slow erosion of self. Told through multiple timelines and layered perspectives—including Harper’s daughter years later—this is a novel about inheritance, silence, and the courage it takes to leave before the last note fades.

For fans of Dolly Alderton, Téa Obreht, and Ashley Audrain, One Last Verse is a lyrical, haunting novel from the world of The Suggestion and The Marriage Audit—a shared universe of emotionally complex women navigating love, legacy, and the cost of staying too long.

What if the most dangerous part of loving someone isn’t losing them—
but losing yourself in the process?
