She’s living her dream…
Kylie Ryans is the biggest thing to come out of Nashville since, well, since Trace Corbin. With a hit album and a powerful label behind her, she appears to be the girl who has it all.
But appearances can be deceiving.
Fresh out of rehab, Trace Corbin is ready to take on the world. Just not the girl he walked away from. Because if there’s one thing he knows for certain, it’s that the people you love are the ones who have the power to destroy you.
As their worlds collide, they’ll have to make the ultimate choice. Follow their dreams, or give it all up for love.
They say love conquers all, but for Kylie and Trace, it just might wreck everything they’ve worked for.

how I started out, and I’ve put it behind me. My career is about me. Not about
him and not about whatever the label wants to spin us as. He and I are nothing
and it’s going to stay that way.”

then how come you haven’t said his name? He’s not Voltemort, last I checked.
Saying his name won’t conjure him out of thin air.”
resisted the urge to fold her arms and glare at the surprisingly sharp and
callous woman in her late sixties. And to storm the hell out. She took a deep

his rehab stay and so did some of his family-friendly sponsors. The event’s
