Leaving the Lake

When a relationship goes south faster than she did, Tane Ridel escapes a perilous situation in Louisiana and returns to Colorado. Yet she can't forget her beloved Lake Pontchartrain, or the charismatic rock musician Stormy Lavarre, who stole her heart with his first glance. Abandoning the enticement of security for the risk of following her dreams, Tane is rewarded with the discovery of her talent for songwriting – and the possibility that she and Stormy might have a future together after all.
