Summary
Neil Josten hasn't been a real person very long. LA was supposed to be his new start. But after getting driven to ground soon upon his arrival, he finds himself behind the scenes of the music industry instead of in the spotlight. As one of LA's most in demand songwriters, he's worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. But it isn't until he gets asked to work for Foxhole Records that he feels like he's really made it. As Neil writes songs for the Foxes, he finds himself becoming part of their world, and falling for the sense of home they provide him. And maybe falling for one of them too.
Note
So this is pretty self-indulgent, but I'm not really sorry about it. Apologies in advance, I'm an east coast gal, so don't take anything I saw about LA seriously. This was pretty much born out of the massive tfc playlist I've been compiling for years, so prepare for a lot of song recs. All the chapter titles are from songs off that list, so feel free to check those out too. Also, the title is a lyric from Neptune by Sleeping at Last, which is a pretty great Neil song btw.
