One decade of almosts. One meddling scheme. One last situationship that can’t be ignored.
Leo Lazaro has been the anchor of Archer Anonymous for years—steady, loyal, and famously unshakable. But when the band goes on hiatus for a three-month paternity leave (thanks to Ben and Caroline’s new baby), Leo makes his most reckless choice: a residency with a dive bar’s house band. It’s not for his career. It’s for Eli Weston—the chaotic MC he’s been circling, craving, and falling into for ten years.
Eli hides behind banter, jokes, and barroom chaos. It’s easier to call it a fling, a joke, a nothing-situation than admit what he really wants. And when he and Leo team up to play matchmaker for their single-dad friend, every fake date and half-baked plan makes it harder to deny what’s been between them all along.
From late-night plotting sessions to one disastrously romantic wedding crash, the tension finally combusts. But Leo’s patience has a limit. And this time, he’s not letting Eli call it “nothing.”
Last call. One more drink. One more kiss. One last chance to finally get it right.

Sera Elly is an award-winning Chicago-area writer, marketer, and professional wrangler of two wild sons, three even wilder dogs, and one husband who’s somehow still on board with all of it. When she’s not turning her love of music and messy road trips into angsty fiction, she runs Tiny Marketing, helping B2B businesses grow without burning out. She thrives on emotionally-charged storytelling, big feelings, bigger playlists, and iced coffee in all seasons. If she disappears, she’s probably on a back road somewhere with the windows down, scream-singing with a half-written scene running on repeat in her mind.
She is the author of the Breakout Sessions, a series of standalone, interconnected romance books set in the indie music scene, featuring messy musicians and earned love stories.
