Dixie Lark hasn’t had it easy. She lost her parents in an accident
when she was young and grew up in a ramshackle house on a dirt road in Amarillo
with her ailing grandparents and overprotective older brother. Thanks to her
grandfather, Dixie learned to play a mean fiddle, inspired by the sounds of the
greats—Johnny and June, Waylon, and Hank. Her grandfather’s fiddle changed
Dixie’s life forever, giving her an outlet for the turmoil of her broken heart
and inspiring a daring dream.
Ten years later, Dixie and her brother Dallas are creating the music they love and chasing fame with their hot band, LEAVING AMARILLO. But Dixie isn’t enjoying the ride. All she can think about is Gavin Garrison, the band’s tattooed, tortured drummer who she’s loved since they were kids. She knows he feels the connection between them, but he refuses see her as more than his best friend’s little sister.
Convinced that one night with Gavin will get him out of her system, Dixie devises a plan. She doesn’t know that her brother has forbidden Gavin from making a move on her—a promise he swore he’d always keep—a promise that once broken will unexpectedly change the future for Dixie, Gavin and the band. Will Dixie and Gavin risk it all for a possible love neither has ever thought possible?
