Get your comfy knits on guys and prepare to have your heart ripped in two by a large irish man! We are talking all things Hozier *cough* I mean Tom Halloran in this weeks episode! Clementine Clark isn't looking for love. She's a talented singer, but she's set her dreams of stardom - and romance - aside to care for her ailing mother.And then her best friend calls her with a life-changing opportunity: join Irish megastar Halloran on his first US tour as a backing vocalist. Clementine wants to reject the offer, but the pay would change her and her mom's life. Overnight, Clementine goes from serving enchiladas at the Happy Tortilla to belting high notes before a cheering crowd.But the whiplash of trading small-town Texas for sold-out stadiums is nothing compared to the rush of performing with the enigmatic Thomas Patrick Halloran. Poet, introvert, and lyrical genius, Halloran quickly gets under Clementine's skin. The two couldn't see the world more differently. And yet, over the course of the next eight weeks on tour, the romantic rockstar might just strike an unforgettable chord in Clementine. But will it be enough for an encore?  Paraphrase Gift ShopBookish Holiday Gifts & Apparel, Romantasy Book Merch, Officially Licensed Etsy ShopSupport the showFollow us on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/apodofsmutandwingspan/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@apodofsmutandwingspanOur Website: https://apodofsmutandwingspan.buzzsprout.com
