The story of Jack Henry and Laurelyn continues...How do you move on when he’s every song you sing?
After Laurelyn Prescott walks away from the love of her life, she returns to Nashville to pursue the only dream she has left. Determined to find a distraction from the pain of losing Jack Henry, she immerses herself in her music. But with her old life comes old acquaintances and new expectations. When Laurelyn refuses her record producer’s outrageous demands, she finds herself without a career—until an unforeseen opportunity presents itself. From there it’s a rocket ride straight to the top where Laurelyn finds the success she’s always dreamed of. Will it be enough to bring her the happiness she so deserves, or will the absence of Jack Henry leave her wanting more?
Excerpt:
Jack McLachlan’s POV
Three.
Long. Fucking. Months. That’s how long it’s been since I’ve seen Laurelyn. And
I don’t think I can take another minute. I die a little more each day she isn’t
in my life.
She’s
been damn near impossible to find. Fate has worked against us every step of the
way. The hoops Jim has jumped through for the smallest bit of information have
been ridiculous. One step forward, two steps back—instead of the other way
around. A criminal on the run would’ve been easier to find.
—maybe
with Blake Phillips.
I
enter the auditorium lobby and the thick cro
But
I’ve finally found her. Laurelyn Paige Prescott—better known to the public by
her stage name as Paige McLachlan—that’s the woman I’m here to see tonight.
I
still smile when I think about her taking my name, but I can’t help but ponder
why she’d need to use a stage name. She never mentioned using one before and it
makes me wonder if something happened with the sperm donor. Or worse wd makes
it difficult to push through. The Martin I’m carrying adds to my difficult
navigation as I bump shoulders through the horde, so I have to apologize with
each step.
I
find my assigned seat. Because I’m a creature of habit, I’m happy when I see
it’s in a dark corner. I sit and place the Martin by my feet. I’m nervous and
adrenalized as evidenced by my rapidly beating heart. I’m about to see the
woman I love walk out onto that stage.
I
look at the time and see it’s only a minute until eight. My heart is pounding
erratically, throbbing in my ears over the loud crowd. Finally, musicians begin
filing onto the stage to take their places. That’s when I see her for the first
time in three months. My Laurelyn. All the time and distance that separated us
disappears upon finally seeing her face again.
She
looks the same, yet different. Her hair is a little longer and darker. Her
honey highlights are missing and she’s slimmer. She’s still beautiful as ever
but doesn’t fit the image etched in my mind these last few months.
She’s
wearing brown boots—the same ones she wore the first time I saw her—with
stonewashed jeans and a strapless white top. Her bare shoulders make me
desperate to touch her exposed skin. And kiss it. Her top is fitted below her
breasts while the bottom flows loosely over her jeans. I picture them riding
low on her hips so I have easy access to kiss her belly.
