He's spent nine years perfecting a smile that hides everything. She's spent nine years running from the secret that ended them.
Matt Taylor is the face of Storyhill - the charmer, the emcee, the man who makes every room light up on cue. What nobody knows is that behind the boots and the belt buckle and the practiced southern charm is a songwriter who has never once been seen for anything more than his pretty packaging. He's almost made his peace with that.
Until the night a bandmate's proposal sends him crashing back to the moment that shattered him - the night, nine years ago, when the woman he loved said no and disappeared without explanation.
Avery Lind clawed her way to the top of country radio one early morning shift at a time. On the day her show goes national, the last person she expects to walk into her studio is the man she never stopped loving - and the one she wronged in a way she's never been able to say out loud.
Forced into three weeks of live, on-air proximity, the chemistry between them crackles like radio static - and the past they've both been carrying gets heavier by the day. Because Avery is hiding something that goes beyond a broken engagement. A secret that was never just hers to keep.
Funny, tender, and achingly romantic, Don't Let the Music Die is a second-chance romance about the courage it takes to tell the truth - and the grace it takes to forgive it.
Don't Let the Music Die is the second book in the Storyhill Musicians contemporary romance series. If you like steamy, swoony workplace entanglements then you'll love this second-chance romance.
