Isabelle Reed is having a bad year. The classical violinist is
struggling with a divorce, and a broken arm has left her unable to play. So when
she receives a wedding invitation from her cousin Morgan, her heart just isn’t in
it. Going to the wedding will mean seeing everyone from back home, and seeing everyone
back home will mean facing the music about her divorce. Unable to miss her cousin’s
wedding, she bites the bullet and takes off—and lands right in the arms of Morgan’s
brother-in-law, country western music star Tate McGill. She’d heard about the singer
and his bad-boy reputation, but there was something about those storm-filled eyes
that made her yearn to look deeper. Even though she should know better than to risk
being the subject of a song on his next album.
Country western singer Tate McGill is living the good life. He’s
surrounded by beautiful women, hit music, and a great family. But he gets more than
he bargained for when he agrees to babysit his nephew Jake for his brother Seth
Blake, and finds a beautiful woman in his way. Isabelle Reed is talented and strong-willed,
and she’s a natural with little Jake. But she’s keeping a secret from Tate, and
he’s determined to find out what it is.
