A Lasting Harmony

by Shelley Kassian

A fallen country music star finds a lasting harmony in this heartfelt second-chance love story.

After losing her music contract to drug and alcohol addiction, Jade Carter retreats to the picturesque town of Harmony to rebuild her life and rethink her career. Checking into the Thurston Hotel, she hopes for a fresh start—but nothing unfolds as she imagined. General Manager Ben Thurston takes pity on her and offers her a job, though not the one she expects. Soon, Jade finds herself drawn to Jason Knight, the hotel’s charismatic bartender. But will her troubled past and precarious choices jeopardize their budding connection?

Jason left the high-pressure corporate world for a simpler life in the Rocky Mountains. When Jade walks into his lounge, their undeniable chemistry sparks a whirlwind romance. But when a compromising photo of them appears in the media, they’re forced to navigate the public eye—and their own feelings—in a staged show of commitment.
Is it just for show, or is it real? Can Jason be the knight in shining armor who helps Jade rediscover her voice and find the lasting harmony she craves?
