Skylines & Sanctuaries

Liam
Ten years ago, I watched her ride off into the sunset with her guitar in one hand and my heart in the other. Ruby Lynn Hayes owns the stage like she was born for the spotlight. While she’s off chasing her dreams, I fall into the arms of the wrong woman trying to forget the one I never should’ve wanted in the first place.
Five years later, a little boy with eyes that match mine is left on my doorstep. From that moment on, my life revolves around my son. I vow to do everything in my power to give him the life and the family I never had.
But Ruby is like a melody that gets stuck in your head—I should’ve known I could never forget her. Now she’s back, in my life and in my home—a nanny for my son, and a danger to my heart.

I fell for Liam Murphy when I was eighteen, sitting on a truck tailgate writing songs about a boy who set my soul on fire. Only trouble is, I wasn’t singing about my boyfriend—I was singing about his brother.
I left that small town, and the boy I adored, in the rearview, chasing sold-out shows and platinum records. I lived out every dream I ever had, but that life wasn’t everything I thought it would be.
Ten years later, I’m walking away from the label that tried to own me, driving down the backroads of my hometown searching for the the spark that’ll bring me back to life. That’s where I find Liam again. He’s a father now, and he needs my help, so I offer him what I can: my time, my heart, my whole life if he’ll let me.
