Under The Tennessee Stars

Persephone Hera Hunters left her tiny Tennessee hometown with one dream-to become the country music star she'd always promised herself she'd be.

Years later, she has everything she thought she wanted.

A platinum record.

Sold-out tours.

Awards.

Fans who know every lyric.

The only thing she doesn't have is the ability to write another song.

With her record label demanding a new album and every blank page mocking her, her best friend convinces her to go back to the one place she's spent years trying to forget-home.

Back to Knoxville.

Back to the family ranch.

Back to the memories.

And back to Hunter Matthews.

The boy next door.

The star quarterback.

The one who made high school miserable by teasing and tormenting her every chance he got.

The same boy she'd secretly loved since first grade.

Hunter never expected to see Persephone again.

After his father's death shattered his dreams of becoming a professional musician, he stayed behind to save the family farm and care for the only family he had left-his mother.

Every sunrise is spent feeding cattle.

Every weekend is spent risking his life bull riding at rodeos just to keep the farm alive.

Music became something he only sang to the fields.

But the moment Persephone walks back into town, every feeling he'd buried comes rushing back.

She thinks he hated her.

The truth is far worse.

He loved her so much that sixteen-year-old Hunter had no idea how to show it without pushing her away.

Now she's the country superstar writing songs about heartbreak.

He's the farmer whose dreams never left Tennessee.

And as old wounds reopen, secrets come to light, and unfinished feelings refuse to stay buried, they'll have to decide if love deserves one more chance...or if some songs were always meant to end before the last chorus.
