Publisher Description
Everyone knows the Greenleaf family puts the “Hell” in Hellcat Canyon—legend has it the only way they ever leave is in a cop car or a casket. But Glory Greenleaf has a different getaway vehicle in mind: her guitar.
She has a Texas-sized talent and the ambition (and attitude) to match, but only two people have ever believed in her: her brother, who’s in jail, and his best friend . . . who put him there.
Sheriff Eli Barlow has secretly been in love with Glory since he was twelve years old. Which is how he knows her head is as hard as her heart is soft—and why she can’t forgive him for fracturing her family . . . or forget that night they surrendered to an explosive, long-simmering passion. But when a betrayal threatens Glory’s big break, Eli will risk everything to make it right . . . because the best way to love the girl from Whiskey Creek might mean setting her free forever.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Long's second foray into contemporary romance (after Hot in Hellcat Canyon) continues to impress with sparkling prose, witty scenes of small-town California, and meaningful romantic conflict. Glory Greenleaf's lifelong love for Eli Barlow was damaged when Eli arrested her brother for meth transportation. Eli earns professional commendation for the arrest, but it destroys his budding romance with Glory. Her money woes restrict her choices; trapped in Hellcat Canyon with a bad image, she can only find happiness through sharing her passionate music with adoring audiences. Both Eli and Glory attempt to move on romantically, but their unresolved issues lead only to repeated frustrating encounters with each other. A scheduled concert of big names brings them and the whole town together, and the cascading events that follow lead to both hope and despair. The ending of this sweet tale surprises and satisfies.
