    The Breakup Tour

    by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka

    Riley Wynn went from a promising singer-songwriter to a superstar overnight, thanks to her breakup song concept album and its unforgettable lead single. When Riley’s ex-husband claims the hit song is about him, she does something she hasn’t done in ten years and calls Max Harcourt, her college boyfriend and the real inspiration for the song of the summer. When Riley asks him to go public as her songwriting muse, he agrees on one condition: He’ll join her band on tour. As they perform across the country, they realize that while they hit some wrong notes in the past, their future could hold incredible things … or go down in flames.

Inspired by her favorite Audrey Hepburn film, Roman Holiday, she drives off in the middle of the night for a break in Rome … Rome, Kentucky, that is. When Noah Walker finds Amelia on his front lawn in her broken-down car, he makes it clear he doesn’t have the time or patience for celebrity problems, he’s too busy running the pie shop his grandmother left him. But then Noah starts to see a different side of Rae Rose. Soon she’ll have to return to her glamorous life on tour, but until then, Noah will show Amelia all the charming small-town experiences she’s been missing, and she’ll help him open his heart to more.

    Heart Strings

    by Ivy Fairbanks

    When the tough-as-nails Cielo “Lo” Valdez moved to Galway for medical school, she wasn’t looking for love. Aidan, a gorgeous, tattooed, mandolin-playing lawyer, slipped past her defenses. They each fell hard and fast. But when Aidan was given the opportunity of a lifetime — to move to London and record an album — he took it, breaking Lo’s heart. Yet more than two years and a successful album later, every song he writes is still about her, the one he let get away. And every time Lo hears his voice on the radio singing about love, it’s an arrow straight to her soul. Now they’re on a collision course as maid of honor and best man at a weekend-long Irish castle wedding. Are some mistakes worth forgiving? Can Aidan convince Lo their song wasn’t meant to end?
