An up-and-coming musician and a retired country music star find themselves entangled in a fake engagement that begins to feel all too real . . . until life comes crashing in—from the bestselling author of The Brave and the Reckless.

Small-town girl meets country music star. Let the show begin.

Making music was always meant to be Adriana Banks’s ticket out of her small town, Wild Fields. Three years ago, that dream was within reach. But with one hit album under her belt, a half-finished tour with country legend Brooks Monroe, and a chart-topping song about never going back to her hometown, her music career went up in flames. Forced to return home with her tail between her legs, she now bartends in the saloon at the local theme park, Bravetown. Unfortunately, Wild Fields doesn’t forgive and forget easily, so Adriana sends a desperate email to Brooks, cashing in a favor for a one-night-only show.

Brooks put his music career on hold three years ago to raise Skye, the daughter he never knew about, after her mother’s death. Now, facing a custody battle with Skye’s maternal grandparents, he needs to prove he can provide a stable home for her. When Brooks sees how happy Skye is at Bravetown, he figures settling down as part-owner of a theme park will be enough to demonstrate his steadiness. But when that doesn’t work, he asks Adriana for a favor of his own: to pose as his fiancée, putting on a show as the picture-perfect small-town family.

The longer Brooks is in Wild Fields, the more it feels like home—and the longer he and Adriana keep up the act, the more real it feels. But with Brooks fighting for his family and Adriana longing to return to music, can they find a way to stay on the same track?
