Jo Lover grew up in a very small town in Virginia and is now a rising country star living in Nashville. Not only is Jo a star, but she is living her dream life. Engaged to her music producer Nick, who is also the son of the owner of the Asphalt music company. Jo is keeping a very big secret and hopes that it will never come out. Instead, she has made a perfect, down-home, sweet image but writing heartfelt songs. Many of those songs were inspired by her first love, J.D. Gunn. Years ago she played in his band, and she never thought she'd see him again. Until she finds out that Asphalt is going to merge with Capitol Records, the same company that represents J.D. One of the conditions of the merger requires that Jo and J.D. have to perform together. While J.D. is all for this, as he has never gotten over Jo, she is not crazy about the idea. Fate has other ideas because their duet goes viral.

The more these two are thrown together, it is harder for them to not remember the good times and how much they were in love. Of course, Nick is not at all happy with this arrangement. As much as Nick loves Jo, he feels that he just can't compete with first love. While Jo is doing an interview with Vanity Fair, the reporter is trying to get to the big secret that Jo has been hiding. Jo cuts him off of the path. The reporter will not give up and next, he tries to get the information out of J.D. No matter how they both try and hide it, the secret does come out. Jo can't accept the way her life is going and returns to her old stomping grounds. Can Jo and J.D. find their way home?

Sarah Creech writes a story straight from the heart. Creech shows that no matter how much money you have, it doesn't always bring happiness. I am sure that situations like this do happen in the music industry. I also like the fact that even though the secret did come out, it really didn't cause as much damage as Jo thought. Throughout
