Marilyn Banner dreams of escaping her small hometown, so a prestigious job offer is the ticket out of town. She longs to leave behind a difficult past and work toward a successful future. She is ready to leave when Dusty Haywood arrives in town, causing her to question her goals.

Dusty, a successful songwriter experiencing writer’s block, comes to Paineville searching for peace in order to regain his lost ability to compose. When he becomes a boarder at her grandmother’s home, Marilyn tries to ignore him, until his tender advice and concern melt her heart.

Over time, they help one another find the strength to heal their past hurts, unwittingly falling in love. Soon, Marilyn must decide between a career in another city or a life-long love at home.

Tara Randel has enjoyed a lifelong love of books, so it didn’t come as a surprise when she pursued writing for herself. After joining Romance Writers of America, she honed her craft and worked toward publication.

When not writing, Tara owns a business with her husband and stays busy with two daughters. She lives on the West Coast of Florida, where gorgeous sunsets inspire the muse to create great stories.
