Will love’s light be enough to lift two wounded hearts from darkness? Serenity Wright has spent her life taking care of others, putting her dreams on hold. At twenty-six, with a sister in college, another in high school who’s headed down the wrong path, and a father addicted to pain pills, she’s the only one keeping the family together. However, working as a part-time waitress and weekend honky-tonk singer was hardly the life she’d envisioned. Her chances of ever performing at the Grand Ole Opry are diminishing with each family crisis. But when well-known songwriter Axel Scott, who’s been suffering from a year-long writer’s block, decides to spend time in Sweet Grove to clear his head, Serenity could be the muse he’s been looking for. Will Axel’s love give her the confidence to pursue her dream, or will the pressures of family life continue to hold her back? Serenity Wright’s childhood ended on her tenth birthday—the night her mother packed her bags and snuck out of the house after everyone was asleep. Her goodbye was a scribbled note proclaiming that she needed her freedom. From that day on, there was no more playing hopscotch on the driveway or running through fields picking wildflowers. It was Serenity’s responsibility to take care of her two younger sisters, prepare meals, and make sure the house was clean. Her happiness came from her songs, but as the years went by, her dreams of being discovered began to fade. Until Axel Scott, songwriter to Nashville’s finest, entered her life. Sweet Grove, Texas, seemed like the perfect spot for Axel to clear his head and come to terms with things that really mattered. He never expected to find his muse there or to fall in love with a woman whose problems ran deeper than his own. Will love’s light be enough to heal their hearts?
