Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

You'll believe in healing and found family, and acquire a book boyfriend who sets a new standard for tender devotion.

Synopsis

A rugged mountain town seemed like the perfect escape from a life in shambles. But on day one I ran full tilt into the world’s hottest single dad and now all my plans are ruined. As a chart-topping country singer with a recent streak of bad press it’s hard to find any peace. But I find it in Rose Hill. With a little boy and a little girl who steal my heart just as thoroughly as their dad. Weston Belmont. The man is a shameless flirt. He oozes confidence and masculinity in a way that’s downright distracting. And in bed? He’s addictive. Everything with him is wild and impulsive and I’m desperate to regain some control. But no one has supported me like West does. And no one has ever made me feel as loved as he does either. So, while my brain says settling down with a small-town horse trainer is impossible… my heart says I’m right where I belong. Still, my life as a celebrity haunts me. It has the power to pull us apart. I can see in his eyes that wants me to stay. And I want that too. But I know better than anyone that we don’t always get what we want.

At a Glance

Country star escaping bad press plus single dad horse trainer in a small mountain town is the kind of setup that sounds like a formula until Elsie Silver makes it feel inevitable. West Belmont is the rare hero who is openly supportive rather than jealously controlling, which makes the celebrity-life tension actually work—this book understands that the real obstacle is Skylar learning to trust that good things are allowed to stay. The kids stealing her heart alongside their dad is genuinely earned, not just cute wallpaper.
