Love and Lyrics - Stand Alone Book

Some things are better left in the past . . .

          A forbidden night of passion with your sister’s ex-boyfriend.

          Hoping he’ll call you.

Wishing he’d knock on your door.

Some things aren’t . . .

          The baby you conceived during that forbidden night.

          Lessons you learned from unreturned calls.

          Strength gained from earning everything you get.

A decade is a long time—ten years, or one hundred and twenty months, or five hundred and twenty weeks to be exact. That’s how long it’s been since business owner Charlie-Anne Bennett has seen country music star Haynes “Ace” Ford.  Has it been long enough for her to forget the way he made her feel? No. Or for him to forget the only woman who’s owned his heart? Not even close. Time may heal old wounds, but it doesn’t necessarily heal the heart. Sometimes all it takes is an accidental meeting.
