ABOUT THE BOOK

A series of heartbreaking setbacks behind her, Scarlett Sykes is now focused on creating the best life possible for her daughter. One where innocence and joy is not colored by rejection or loss. While finances are tight and Scarlett’s job isn’t ideal for a single mother, her child will always know she’s loved. Especially since Harmony’s father wanted nothing to do with them.

As lead singer and the face of a successful country band, Jake Turnquist’s closest friends depend on him, but life in the spotlight is quickly losing its appeal. At a party celebrating another accomplishment, he’s stunned to discover Scarlett assisting the caterer. Almost ten years have passed, but he’s never forgotten his first love.

In the hours after a surprise revelation, Jake scrambles to orchestrate a way to spend time with Scarlett and Harmony—the family he’s always wanted but never knew he had. He once gave her up to pursue his music. What will he have to surrender to win her back?

EXCERPT

“You’re jealous.” Andi didn’t miss a beat. “But Scarlett has always let her guard down around Levi because she’s comfortable with him. They don’t have a relationship history—one that didn’t end well to navigate around.” Empathy filled her eyes, probably due to her recalling her own relational heartbreak years ago. “Give her time, Jake. She’ll see you’re still the same guy from Fiddler Creek we all know and love.”

But was he? He’d chased after fame and fortune, leaving everything and everyone behind. And with his success came a whole new set of challenges he hadn’t anticipated.
