Catch A Fallen Star. Amy Vastine

      

      He’s got to save his career—and himself

      Hitting rock bottom has landed country star Boone Williams in the middle of his worst nightmare: a recording studio on a horse therapy farm hours away from Nashville. He has no interest in dealing with his problems or writing a new album. And he’s definitely not interested in the gorgeous, feisty mom of one of Helping Hooves’s young clients. She doesn’t even know who he is! But his record label is one tabloid story from cutting him loose, and Boone can’t seem to turn around without bumping into Ruby and her daughter, Violet. Clearly, Boone’s not going to get what he wants. Could Ruby be just what he needs?

      Her hand landed solidly on Boone’s chest.

      That was the moment he realized she knew exactly who he was. Clearly, she was a fan. His female admirers always wanted to touch.

      “Aren’t you cute,” Boone said. “If you think it would help, I’ll sign something for you and your daughter. Maybe this little encounter will turn the whole day around.”

      People used to tell him that all the time. They would profess their love for him and swear that meeting him was life altering. Boone Williams had that effect on people.

      This little redhead cocked her head and seemed confused, however. Boone figured she was still trying to play like she didn’t recognize him. It was a common ploy.

      He gave her his trademark grin and lowered his voice, which had literally made women swoon. “You want me to sign something for you, pretty lady?”

      The line between her eyebrows deepened. “Unless you’re signing your name on a check, I’m not sure your signature is going to do me and my daughter much good, mister.”

      “Are you famous or something?” the daughter asked.

Dear Reader,

      I am thrilled to be bringing you the second book in the Grace Note Records series. Boone Williams was a character introduced in the first book, who I was a little worried I wasn’t going to be able to make very likable. As I began to write Catch a Fallen Star, he started to grow on me until he became one of my favorite heroes yet!

      Everyone has good and bad moments in their lives, and we meet Boone when he’s decided to try pulling himself out of the hole he’s dug. It’s never easy to accept when we’re wrong, and for someone like Boone, who has had his head blown up thanks to his fame, it’s even harder. Enter Ruby and her daughter, Violet. Sometimes people come into our lives whom we never expect to have much of an impact, but they surprise us. Ruby and Violet do that for Boone.

      I hope you enjoy this story and open your heart to Boone, who isn’t perfect by any means. But he’s working on it!
