Closing Melody

Eight years ago, Eloise Montgomery left her cozy hometown of Evergreen County because her crush proposed to her best friend. Running away to New York shaped Elle into a new woman. She morphed from a chubby nerd girl into a sophisticated businesswoman. She's erased all ties to her hometown, including her last name. Eloise Montgomery is a ghost of her past, a reminder of who she wants to forget.
Finding love in NYC was a bonus, but becoming America's Homewrecker was not. There are always two sides to every story, but her story is one no one wants to believe. Leaving New York wasn't on the list of goals she set for herself. Neither was going home to the small town of Evergreen County. Now that she's back, she's facing parts of her past she thought she was over. Secrets always find a way of exposing themselves, and she should know that better than anyone.

Jake Ryan is no longer the boy band singer he once was. He is now a single father, trying to cope with the sudden loss of his wife and trying to raise his daughter alone. The accident came out of nowhere, and now he's uprooted their lives, moving from Los Angeles to the small town his wife grew up in. A tiny place nestled two hours north of Los Angeles, called Evergreen County. He wants to give his daughter the same community his wife had. He and his daughter are both deep in their grief and need help. There are only so many takeout and burned frozen pizzas one can endure. His former boy band manager's wife might have the connection he needs to get his life back on track. But the nanny he hires to watch over his daughter might be more trouble than she's worth. Or she might be exactly who he's looking for.

Welcome to Evergreen County, a small town where everyone knows everyone. A place where even your secrets have secrets. Jake and Elle are the first in the series. Join them on their journey through love, loss, acceptance, and forgiveness.
