A Contemporary Romance by Lynda Boston
Rising country-pop star Sadie Brooks is on the brink of something big-if she's willing to leave everything behind. After a career-defining performance in Montana catches the eye of a powerful Nashville talent agent, Sadie is offered the opportunity of a lifetime. But fame comes with a cost: her quiet hometown roots, her close-knit circle of friends, and maybe even her heart.
Enter Cole, her protective, loyal, maddeningly patient private pilot-the man who's always been there, no matter how high she climbs or how hard she falls. As pressure mounts and industry promises blur into manipulation, Sadie finds herself caught between the spotlight she's worked for and the quiet, steady love she never expected.
When their friendship edges into something deeper, Sadie must decide: will she chase the wings of stardom alone, or fight for the grounded, real-life love she never knew she needed?
