Music star Brooks Kent is stuck: after one too many scandals, a new record with less-than-stellar sales, and a concert debacle, he's this close to getting fired by his management team and his label. One last opportunity to clean up his image means crossing a line Brooks has sworn never to do and he takes off instead.
In small town Brandywood, Maddie Yardley has been put in charge of a musical charity festival and can't seem to get anyone to agree to headline. Then the answer to her woes seem to be miraculously answered as Brooks comes crashing through the front door of Yardley's Country Depot one night—literally. In his car.
Maddie offers Brooks a deal: stay and play at the festival and she'll keep quiet about the destruction he's caused on Main Street. But Brooks doesn't take nicely to bribing. What's more, he's not quite sure what to make of the fiery woman who's threatening to feed him to the tabloid wolves. Or the fact that he'd like to kiss that smirk right off her face.
The more time Brooks stays in Brandywood, the more he finds himself unable to walk away from the magnetic pull Maddie has over him. But his past is bound to come reckoning . . . and threatens not only to destroy the simmering romance, but any chance he has for fixing what he's broken.
A contemporary small town romance with steamy, open door romantic scenes and heartfelt moments about old wounds and finding forgiveness, Ever With Me is the fifth book in the Brandywood Small Town Romance Series, which are interconnected, stand-alone novels. CW: language, childhood trauma, suicide
