(Love in Color #1)

Christian Contemporary Romance
Paperback & eBook, 278 Pages

Summary
A series of heartbreaking setbacks behind her, Scarlett Sykes is now focused on creating the best life possible for her daughter. One where innocence and joy is not colored by rejection or loss. While finances are tight and Scarlett’s job isn’t ideal for a single mother, her child will always know she’s loved. Especially since Harmony’s father wanted nothing to do with them.
As lead singer and the face of a successful country band, Jake Turnquist’s closest friends depend on him, but life in the spotlight is quickly losing its appeal. At a party celebrating another accomplishment, he’s stunned to discover Scarlett assisting the caterer. Almost ten years have passed, but he’s never forgotten his first love.
In the hours after a surprise revelation, Jake scrambles to orchestrate a way to spend time with Scarlett and Harmony—the family he’s always wanted but never knew he had. He once gave her up to pursue his music. What will he have to surrender to win her back?
Excerpt
Unaware of the storm brewing around her, Harmony closed her eyes as she led into the chorus. “When the morning comes and the storm blows through, I’ll be waiting. Watching over you. When life disappoints, and you can’t help but cry, let the rain of my love get you by.”
Scarlett blinked back tears at the broken promises and years of loneliness those lyrics represented.
A fierce scowl marred Jake’s face. “Where’d you hear that song?” He took a step forward, crushing a cup in his hand as his gaze bounced between her and Harmony.
The music stopped mid-note. Scarlett stood and moved in front of her daughter as his face grew redder. Why was he so angry? She hadn’t broken her word—he was the expert at that. All she’d done was taught a little girl—one desperate to understand why she didn’t have a dad who loved and wanted her—a song.
“My daddy wrote it.” Harmony’s small voice ignited every protective instinct within her.
