About the book: year / In this brand new Grammy-winning novel from Carrie Elks, a rock star falls in love with a small-town girl. After years of performing on world stages, tattooed vocalist Gray Hartson is returning home. He intends to build bridges with his ailing father and reunite with the family he once left behind. At home he meets her - a beautiful, smart waitress who makes him laugh more than he has in years. But there is one small problem - she is the sister of his ex-girlfriend and the only woman he cannot have. When Gray left town, Maddie Clark was an awkward teenager. Now she's serving plates in a hole-in-the-wall diner, and her dreams of becoming a famous concert pianist are shattered. Just don't ask her why. She will never say them, we all know that strong women do everything possible to maintain their dignity and a roof over their heads. Everything was tolerable until he walked through the door and made her already difficult life more difficult. And although this attraction is wrong, foolish hearts never listen to the voice of reason. Maybe he should write a song about it.
