He falls first in this heartfelt read from a USA Today bestselling author...

Ready to change her life, Heather Finley sells her share of a local business and begins plotting to leave the small town where she grew up. She's spent too long reining in her creative impulses for the good of the family. Now, she's leaving Heartache for fun, adventure, and maybe even a spot on a reality television singing competition. Or at least, she would if she could get past Heartache's sexy mayor who always seems to be in the way.

Tech entrepreneur Zach Chance never wanted to be mayor of a small town in Tennessee, but when no one else stepped up to run things, he offered to keep Heartache in the black until they found someone else. He'd much rather spend his free time pursuing Heather Finley, but she'd shut him down every time he got close. Now that fate seems determined to throw them together as often as possible, can he convince her to share some of her new sense of adventure with him?
