Dalton Calhoun never fancied himself a star, yet here he is, strumming his guitar under the country music spotlight after his dreams hit a sour note at eighteen. Chasing his buddy Cooper to the quirky town of Devil's Bend, Texas, Dalton stumbles upon the missing chord—a certain waitress at The Rusty Nail. Despite his chart-topping hits and legions of adoring fans, winning her heart is no easy tune to play.
Katie Clarren's life has been a country ballad of misfortune, starting when her mother skipped town on her eighteenth birthday. She's learned to roll with the punches, but it's come at the cost of keeping secrets from those she holds dear. These secrets even extend to Dalton, the dashing country crooner who swept her off her feet faster than a Texas twister. Knowing their romance is a fleeting melody, she reluctantly steps away to shield them both from harm.
Will Dalton and Katie strum the right chords to break free from their pasts and embrace the love right in front of them, or will they remain ensnared in dreams that have long since vanished?
