Part of Springbrook Hills
First published 2022
Jordan Daniels has spent her whole life being second best. Her mother made sure she knew it, constantly measuring her against a brother and sister Jordan had never met. Then her country star boyfriend proposes, cameras close in, and Jordan runs. She ends up in Springbrook Hills, the small town her mother once fled, looking for a family that has no idea she exists. To pay the bills, she takes a job working for Tanner Coleman, a man with deep roots, a family business, and a firm rule against getting involved with women who have one foot out the door. His high school sweetheart left him behind to chase a rockstar, and he has no interest in repeating that. But Jordan keeps showing up every day, carrying secrets he can not quite ignore. She is running from fame and a proposal she never wanted. He is guarding a heart that got broken once and never fully healed. The closer they get, the more Jordan has to decide whether she can stop moving long enough to belong somewhere.
