A man who’s gained fortune and fame. A woman who’s known heartbreak and despair. A second chance for a couple who went their separate ways years ago . . .

As a wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, West Sutherland walks away at the peak of his career, ready to find a quieter life in his hometown of Hawthorne, Texas. He’s hired by his former high school coach and mentor and will have a place on the Hawks’ coaching staff next year. He’s surprised to find Kelby Blackstone in town, the girl he’s never forgotten.

Although as teenagers, West and Kelby maturely agreed to go their separate ways after high school, running into one another in Hawthorne fourteen years later causes unresolved feelings to surface for them both. They decide to explore what they missed out on the first time, finding their shared past and old friendship soon grows into deep feelings for one another.

Cody Lynch spent 18 years serving in covert military roles, living a life built on movement, discipline, and the constant reality that he could be deployed at a moment’s notice. Serious relationships were something he admired from afar but never allowed himself to have.

After an op goes bad and he’s medically discharged, Cody travels to his brother’s wedding for the weekend but is unsure of what comes next.

In Houston, he finds a place that feels unexpectedly like home. A family eager to reconnect. Friends who anchor him. A new career that gives him purpose again.

As Cody rebuilds his life, he begins to imagine a future he never thought he could have: one filled with love, family, and the kind of belonging he once believed wasn’t meant for him.

Harlow Phillips had her future mapped out—a prestigious music program in New York City and a promising career as a concert pianist. But in one violent moment, her best friend’s stalker shattered more than just her right hand. He destroyed her dreams, her relationships, and her sense of self.

Now, after many months and multiple surgeries, Harlow can barely recognize the musician she once was. Her fingers stumble over keys that used to sing beneath her touch. Consumed by shame and anger, she pushes away everyone who loves her—her devoted boyfriend Luke, her guilt-ridden best friend Carmindy, even her worried mother. Instead, she finds solace in dangerous places and the arms of a stranger who doesn’t know the gifted pianist she used to be.

But when her former study partner, Edward, refuses to let her give up, Harlow reluctantly agrees to see a performance psychologist. What she discovers there will challenge everything she believes about her worth, her talent, and her capacity to heal.

Sometimes the most beautiful music comes from broken instruments.

A powerful story of resilience, redemption, and discovering that our greatest victories often rise from our deepest defeats.

But the spotlight turns sinister when, after being swarmed by fans, a chilling note is found tucked in her pocket—eerily similar to the ones sent by the stalker she helped put behind bars eighteen months ago.

But is it a copycat? Or has he escaped?

Her father hires Navy SEAL Colby Lynch, to protect Carmindy from the very threat she thought was gone for good. As sparks fly between them, a love story begins to bloom amid the danger.

But her stalker is always one step ahead, willing to hurt anyone close to her to fulfill his sick obsession.

Carmindy knows there’s only one way out: face this monster head-on but doing so may mean risking everything… including her life.

A tortured past. A chance meeting. And a love that can't be ignored.

Kelly

For years, Kelly Reilley was careful not to let anyone into her closely protected personal space. The last time she did so, against her own wishes, she came out battered and bruised. And then, Jim Connor walked into her life and breached those walls without her even noticing. Something that shocked her to her core...and made her want things she didn’t think she could ever have.

Now, she's happily in love with the man of her dreams, but the scars of the past can't be forgotten. Especially when they threaten to stop her from getting her happy ever after.

Jim

Jim Connor has two things in his life that are important to him: his family and his job. He works as an electrician for a construction company, but his goal is to build houses one day. A dream he always thought was the thing he wanted most...until he ran into Kelly Reilley at the grocery store.

Now, dinners at home with his parents no longer are no longer on the schedule. Instead, he wants to spend every minute he can with her.

And that goal of building a house? It's now turned into a home for her.
