Nathan Roth is the lead guitarist for rock band Pretty Rockets Tuesday, and he would rather “walk around like a normal person” than live under the thumb of his band manager, Trudy. This is how he finds himself on a snowy street in Greenwich Village, protecting a woman from her dirtbag ex-boyfriend. It’s also how he ends up crossing paths with the same woman again at a coffee shop just hours after the scuffle hits newsstands-a chance encounter he knows means more.

Lydia Ashburton is exasperated when Nathan approaches her. He’s bold, a little desperate, and keeps begging her to sit with him. She’s just trying to buy coffee. But when she realizes he’s the handsome stranger who intervened on her behalf, she agrees to be his date to an album release party-having no idea he’s a rock star. It’s a decision that changes everything, thrusting her into a spotlight she’s only read about in magazines.

Ten years later, Nathan is helping with renovations at an Art Deco theater in Shiloh, Georgia. His life is simple-and quiet. But when Anna Kinser is hired as the new event coordinator, his world is turned upside down. Anna is funny and quirky, and she’s none the wiser about Nathan’s former rock star status. But she does know three very important things about him: he’s the single father of a precocious little girl named Emily, he’s brilliant on guitar, and he’s hot. It doesn’t take long for Emily to pick up on Anna’s crush and begin playing matchmaker, but Anna is met with more than just an emotional wall-she’s faced with a mysterious letter too.

Now, Anna has to decide whether Nathan’s complicated past has left him with enough room in his heart-or whether the echoes of yesterday are just too strong.
