The love that binds
Former Nashville star Sam Etchason is slowly building a new life in peaceful Lake Mildred. But an unexpected inheritance makes him joint owner of a farmhouse with Kelly Sweet, a country singer driven by her own longtime ambitions.
Kelly is only back in Michigan to settle her grandmother’s estate. She hasn’t expected such a powerful closeness between her and Sam. And now she’s starting to reconnect with the sister she left behind. Everything’s falling into place, until a stunning offer comes her way that threatens to destroy it all. The deal means instant stardom for Kelly, but would cost Sam what he holds most dear…
“You could have catapulted yourself to the top of the charts. So what happened?”
“I don’t want to talk about it.”
“Why not? We’ve talked about me.” Kelly watched him. While the light from the dashboard had made Sam handsome, the moonlight brought out something else. “You couldn’t handle being in the spotlight?”
“You don’t know anything.”
No, she didn’t, which was her point. “So explain it to me.”
He looked down at her, opened and closed his mouth as if trying to figure out the words. Then he leaned in and kissed her soundly.
The pressure of his lips on hers made her heart soar, a feeling she hadn’t had in a very long time. She let her eyes close, and she savored the kiss. For now.
Life has a way of turning upside down at a moment’s notice. Last year for me was one of those years. I got divorced and fought breast cancer, two things that have a way of shedding perspective on what is important. For me, it was surrounding myself with family and friends as well as rediscovering my passion for books. I also discovered that I had reserves of strength and determination just waiting to be tapped.
In Two-Part Harmony Kelly Sweet experiences a life turned upside down when her grandmother dies. Losing her biggest fan and believer, she suddenly questions who she is and what she wants. As she struggles to find those answers, she discovers a passion for songwriting and reconnects with her sister. Sam Etchason is on the other end of that self-discovery journey. He’s found what he loves to do after he lost everything, but the demons from his past come back to haunt him after Mrs. Sweet’s death. He finds a way of mixing his past with his present to find a strength that was waiting inside him all along.
I hope you enjoy reading this book and going on the journey with Kelly and Sam.

Dedicated to my sisters and best friends,
Susan Skrzypczak and Sherrie Hartman.
I remember entire days playing with Barbies, acting out music videos and movies when we were younger. We even created an imaginary brother and made Dad stop the car to let him in. As the oldest sister, I used to think I was the boss, but you were quick to remind me I’m not. Much like my characters remind me that while I think I may be in control, they are the ones who direct the story. I love you both.
