Country Gold
Heatherly Bell, author
A second chance...
A scandal ended the careers of the Wilder Sisters, the chart topping country rock band. But Lexi Wilder is okay with that, thanks for asking. She's been on the road since roughly forever, and even if the scandal has followed her home to Whistle Cove, California, Lexi is going to enjoy the break. After all, there's quite nothing like the beautiful sandy beaches of Monterey Bay to calm a woman's soul.
Luke Wyatt never asked to trade fame and fortune for the only woman he's ever loved. Now that he's finished a punishing year-long national tour, all bets are off. He's coming back to his hometown of Whistle Cove for the quiet, the beaches, the inspiration, and the girl. Not necessarily in that order. There's pressure from Nashville to deliver more country gold like the #1 song he co-wrote with Lexi Wilder.
But Lexi can’t forgive Luke for choosing fame over her…
Reviews
In the first Wilder Sisters romance from Bell (Starlight Hill), beautiful harmonies and bitter memories strike conflicting chords. Country star Luke Wyatt finishes his grueling tour and heads to his hometown of Whistle Cove, Calif., and the Wilder Sisters B&B. He’s not sure what reception he’s going to receive from Lexi, the oldest of the three sisters. They were darlings of the country music stage until a sordid scandal derailed their career. Luke was the group’s backup musician, and a hit song he and Lexi wrote together helped launch his solo career. Now Luke needs another hit, and, more importantly, he needs Lexi back in his life. Lexi is still stinging from what she views as Luke’s betrayal, and yet the minute she sees him, all her pent-up romantic yearnings come flooding back. Luke’s unwavering loyalty to Lexi and her family gives this sweet romance unexpected integrity that more than makes up for the lack of sexual tension. Readers looking for a tender romance that leans more toward the emotional than the physical will find this very satisfying. (BookLife)
