Behind the Spotlight

She's the newest star in country music — and the one thing that could end it all is the love she's been hiding offstage.

Casey Simmons grew up in small-town Indiana with nothing but a voice and a dream. Now her debut album is climbing the charts, her first national tour is selling out, and the world is falling in love with the girl from Caldwell who writes songs that make you feel like she's singing straight to your heart.

But Casey is carrying a secret she can't afford to let out. Her makeup artist, Darla Webb, is more than just a member of her touring crew. She's the woman Casey loves. And in a genre that still clings to tradition, that kind of truth could cost everything she's spent her life building.

They've been careful. They've been quiet. Her agent, Roy, has his suspicions but knows better than to ask. As long as no one says it out loud, it isn't real.

Then a rival starts watching. And someone who knows the truth decides that Casey Simmons's secret is worth more as a weapon than a story.

Behind the Spotlight is the first book in the Hidden Harmony series — a slow-burn, emotionally charged romance about what it costs to live in the gap between who you are and who the world will let you be. For fans of country music, slow-burn romance, and stories where the stakes are real and the love is worth fighting for.
