Heartacheâthe best place to heal
Erin Finley heads home to Heartache, Tennesee, after the perfect guy turns out to be anything but. She throws herself into running a vintage store with her sister and surrounding herself with the comforts of her small town. Then one rainy night, TV producer Remy Weldon shows up and almost sweeps her off her feet!
Remy sees more in Erin than she sees in herself. Quirky, beautiful and capable, he needs her for his antiques showâand for himself. Because Erin is the first star Remyâs found in the very dark night that has become his life. And she might just be able to lead him into the dawnâ¦
Erinâs hand paused on the Open sign.
Her attention was thoroughly captured by the sight of Remy unfolding his long, lean frame from the vehicle.
Heâd held plenty of appeal the night before with his dress shirt plastered to his chest and shoulders from the rain. Today, clean and pressed in a gray suit with a pale blue shirt open at the neck, he was a whole different kind of handsome.
Remy lifted a hand in acknowledgment when he spotted her. Her heart rate jumped a little at his smile, a fact that irritated her more than she would have liked.
Opening the door, she concentrated on the fact he was just a client like any other. And heâd be on his way back to Miami before she knew itâ¦
I fell in love with Heartache, Tennessee, in my last Mills & Boon Superromance novel, Promises Under the Peach Tree (September 2014). So much so that I just couldnât seem to leave! I hope youâll indulge me for a return trip to this fictional town south of Nashville where Iâve got another story to tell about one of the Finleys, Heartacheâs most prominent family. Things arenât going so well for Erin Finley when we meet her. But then Remy Weldon, the hero I sent her way, is having a hard time, as well.
Remy and his teenage daughter are both drawn in by small-town life in Heartache. I hope you are, too! Sit for a spell and enjoy the warm spring nights of Tennessee with me. The kids are all tucked in. The katydids are singing and the fireflies are just beginning to come out to light the evening with their magical glow. Best of all, two people are about to fall in loveâ¦
Happy reading,

While working on her masterâs degree in English literature, JOANNE ROCK took a break to write a romance novel and quickly realized a good book requires as much time as a masterâs program itself. She became obsessed with writing the best romance possible, and sixty-some novels later, she hopes readers have enjoyed all the âalmost thereâ attempts. Today, Joanne is a frequent workshop speaker and writing instructor at regional and national writer conferences. She credits much of her success to the generosity of her fellow writers, who are always willing to share insights on the process. More important, she credits her readers with their kind notes and warm encouragement over the years for her joy in the writing journey.
To all you romance-loving readers,
thank you for spending long hours
in front of the romance shelves at the bookstore or on your ereaders!
Iâm so grateful to you for thinking, like me, that âhappy-ever-afterâ is a story worth believing in and worth reimagining again and again in the pages of a book, in our hearts and in our real lives.
This book is for you, for daring to be romantic. Thank you for your optimistic view of the world and your belief that love conquers all. I hope this story lifts you up, makes you smile, and reminds you of the awesome power of love in our lives.

ERIN FINLEY HAD plane tickets, ID and her carry-on suitcase set for a romantic long weekend. Too bad the âromanticâ part was decidedly absent, since Patrick was not at the airport as promised.
âFlight 8402 to Nashville, now boarding all rows,â the airlineâs desk agent announced over a tinny PA system at the gate.
Damn it. Erin checked her phoneâstill no messages even though sheâd texted him. Nervously, she toyed with the handle on her sticker-covered 1940s-era vintage suitcase, wishing Patrickâs black leather duffel sat beside it. Her financial consultant boyfriend loved to tease her about her quirky fashion sense, which was inspired by her work as an antiques dealer and part-time boutique manager. Despite the teasing, heâd developed an artistic side since theyâd met. He had taken up painting, a growing passion that heâd credited her with during a really awesome talk theyâd recently had about their future. A future finally looking up for Erin. When theyâd been in the shopping mall last weekend, sheâd caught Patrick having a hushed conversation with a jeweler. She had every reason to think a ring might be in the works.
