Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice
Paige Rivera doesnt need to know the rest; she doesnt intend to end up among the twice-fooled.
Its been six years since Youssef Salah let her down, and not even the shock of his reappearance is enough to make her consider letting him do it again. She learned a lot from that first fall: how to pick herself up, brush herself off, and push away anyone with the ability to knock her off her feet.
Hes no longer the teenage boy she knew, but Youssef still possess the powers of a gravitational force, so Paige employs her failsafe strategy: head down, eyes on the prize. The prize in this case is her burgeoning career as a music producer and one-to-watch in the Montreal DJ scene.
Unfortunately, thats the prize Youssef has always had his eyes on too.
As the citys sweaty clubs and neon-lit bars throw them together again and again, Paige cant help getting caught in the pull of the boy she used to know and the man hes now becomea man whos not afraid to hide that hes just as drawn to her. Passing words turn into late-night conversations that force them both to realize their past was never as simple it seemed, and neither was their goodbye.
Theres a future waiting for them, as ready as an empty stage under the lights, but fools have a way of showing up in the spotlightespecially if theyve been there twice.
When the Lights Come On is part of the Barflies series, a set of standalone romantic comedies that chronicle the lives and loves of the staff at a Montreal dive bar.
Genre: Romance
