Blurb
She was the last girl you’d ever see in a bar.
But one night, under those neon lights,
Lucky and Katie found each other.
Beginnings are always exciting.
Always fun. Always hopeful.
Katie was in her last year of college.
Lucky was still playing local stages.
She fell for his voice. She fell for his words.
They fell in love.
It was beautiful.
But time changed their world.
She was alone. He was on the road.
Life happened.
And that love was torn apart.
Endings are always painful.
Always heart wrenching.
But not always final.
One day, Lucky came back to Katie.
And this is their story.

Excerpt
I woke up sometime later to the sound of my phone buzzing next to me. Peering at the screen, I saw Lucky’s name. I answered with a grin. “Hey.”
“Hey.”
I imagined him sitting in his house in Nashville with his sexy smile and messy hair. And that image was better than all the other images I’d had today.
“Did I wake you up?”
“No, I’m watching TV. Well, I kind of fell asleep in here, I guess.” I glanced at the clock, and it said one-thirty in the morning.
“So you are sleeping on the couch instead of out with your roommates?”
“How do you know they aren’t home?”
I heard his chuckle. “Same reason I know you are wrapped in a brown blanket.”
I jumped up from the couch and spun around in a circle. And then I saw Lucky, looking into the house through the dining room window. The rush I felt was bigger than I expected. A high that drowned out all the other feelings. “How long have you been watching me?”
“Well, long enough to see that you probably snore because your mouth was wide open. And I think you drool too.”
“No . . .” I shut my eyes. “Get in here.”
I hung up and went to the door. He was already on the steps by the time I had it open.
“So I was in the neighborhood.” He grinned. “Thought I would stop by.”
The flutters in my chest held me captive. Lucky might be the star, but right now, I felt like all the lights in the world had shifted their focus onto me.
Before I could say a word, Lucky pulled me into his arms as he kissed me hard, grinding his mouth against mine. He was holding me, running his hands over my body, into my hair, against my cheek.
I knew in that moment, the inevitable lonely ache that was destined to follow our relationship would be worth the torment—if those days allowed me to experience this mind-consuming rush of happiness that came each time he returned home.

REVIEWED BY WENDY
3.5 stars
I love reading second chance stories and this book was right up my alley. Lucky and Katie meet one night and they are drawn to each other. These two were on different paths in their lives so it was intriguing to see how it would go. They embark on a journey together and it was fascinating to read. I enjoyed the progression of their relationship. How Lucky and Katie would be when they were together was great. It was fun, sexy, and, sweet. These were two people that were meant to be together. The love was there and the author did a great job showing it. As this is a second chance romance, something did happen that tore these two apart. It was heartbreaking. I really wanted to see how these two would come together again. Their reunion was where the story took a dive for me. I didn’t like the twist that helped with the initiation of their reunion. With what these two had I felt like that shouldn’t have been the reason. That was just the sticking point for me. After I got over that, I did like reading about Lucky and Katie coming back together and seeing how time and life has changed them. The love was still prominent so I couldn’t wait to see what will happen. Will these two get what they deserved? Overall, I did like this story. The writing and the characters were great. I was invested in this story and I couldn’t wait to see where it would go. It was a good read. I believe that readers will enjoy this book.
