Description
[Book 2 in the Of Course series] The first time Emryn Ashford held a guitar, she dreamed of a career in music. After headlining the Bi-Con series in Nashville as an out artist, with the help of her talent scout (and newly promoted close friend) Hannah Nelson, her singles have climbed the charts. Now garnering attention from all angles and soaring to newfound heights, things can only go up from here. That is, until Emryn learns of her father's sudden death. Taking a step away from the spotlight, despite the growing fame, it feels like ambition and inspiration somehow slipped through her fingers. Returning to her small hometown with only 3 stop-lights and a McDonalds still stuck in the 90's, Emryn is unsure of where her life is headed. How is she going to get out of this slump, and does she even want to? And, why the hell is Mallorie Rivers playing piano in the only coffee shop in town? Hadn't she set her sights on New York? The last thing Emryn knew, she went running to Juilliard. Mallorie Rivers was done with Eddie Shaffer's shit. Period. And him not showing up, yet again, for their gig, was her final straw. And that's not including the fact that they've been on-again, off-again since they were nineteen. Before that pivotal moment her life changed forever. She loved her piano so much, it was a comfort these days. Keeping her steady, solid and holding together when it felt like the world was trying its best to tear her apart. She's forgotten the thrill of an audience or those wide open spaces where notes echo. Where she was and what she was doing now is safe. And her old dreams? They were simply just that-dreams. And dreams change. But why is Emryn Ashford picking up Eddie's guitar? Didn't she have a concert or a massive crowd of fans to greet?
