Jory Orleans lives through his music, pouring heartache, loss, and resilience into every note. A seasoned guitarist with a past shaped by grief, he’s spent years drifting from city to city, letting melodies speak the words he can’t. But in Cedar Springs, something shifts.

Kadence Jones never planned to become captivated by a man she’s never spoken more than a few words to. Yet, week after week, she finds herself drawn to The Velvet Note, caught in the pull of Jory’s voice, his presence, and the unexpected intensity of a connection neither of them fully understand.

She’s guarded. He’s used to goodbyes. But the music between them refuses to fade, confirming it's time for them to take a chance on something more.
