He's been leaving all his life...
Jeanette Carson has been a fixture as a waitress in Ruby's Cafe ever since high school. Walker Roundtree is country music's brightest star, known by all for his laid-back charm and irresistible appeal to the opposite sex. Ever since his first visit to Sweetgrass Springs, there have been verbal fireworks between him and Jeanette as she proved to be the only woman immune to his charm.
Now their paths have crossed in the outside world, and they're seeing each other in a new light. Fireworks of a very different sort are sparking the sky--but then Walker's world is upended by a tragedy, and the only one who steps in to help him is the very woman who swore never to put herself at his mercy. For a few days, they have only each other to rely upon, and these two lonely hearts find refuge in each other.
But all too soon, the real world demands its due, and their refuge is no longer private. The days of dreaming, the nights of yearning and hope face the harsh light of reality, and the only question is:
Whose heart will be the one to break?
An original love song, Never Forever, written and performed especially for this story by Eric Dove, is available on CDbaby, iTunes and Amazon as well as in the audiobook
