ABOUT THE BOOK

All Samantha Williams wants is to use her teaching degree to instruct a classroom of second graders. With a breast cancer diagnosis at the age of twenty-three, and failed reconstruction surgery, Sam finds herself without a job and temporarily living with her parents. This isn’t the life Sam expected. When a family friend dies and leaves Sam a house and land in Whispering Creek, Tennessee, Sam must decide if leaving Wisconsin for Southern living is in her lesson plans.

Nashville native, Cole Donoven, left his family’s electrical business to write country music. When Cole’s song writing partner and girlfriend dumps him for a country music star, Cole abandons Nashville to hold up in Whispering Creek and compose one more song. The last thing Cole expects to find in the sleepy small town is a deceased friend, estate squabbles, and a Northern beauty. Will the chaos in Whispering Creek help create a bestselling song for Cole and possibly help him find a life-long collaborator?

EXCERPT

Cole cocked his head. A loud screech emanated from his pocket. His brow furrowed as he pulled out his phone.

Sam covered her ears. Unease swirled in her belly. “What is going on?”

Eyes wide, he said, “Tornado.”

Mind a jumble, she shouted, “Where’s the basement?”

“There isn’t one.”

Before she could lament her deteriorating life, Cole swept her in his arms. Her face smashed against his firm chest as he raced through the laundry room, down the hall, and almost dropped her in the bathtub before he dove onto the floor. A loud thud echoed from the roof. She squeezed her hands into fists and curled tight against the cold porcelain. The shattering of glass interrupted the wind. Lord, protect us.

Lights in the hall went dark.

I can’t believe this is happening.” She could barely process all the changes coming her way.

“Stay low, Sam.” Cole’s rugged voice sounded an octave higher.

How much lower could her life get? Ted’s house, no her house, might blow away with her and her new friend in it. And she wasn’t even confident she had insurance.
