Songbird Saloon has been Lily Olson’s source of comfort and family. So much so, that she has had the time and support to study and put herself through college. As well as giving her the confidence to apply to veterinary school. For which she has been accepted. She is finally on her own path and will not repeat the mistakes of former Olson women. She is not going to let any man distract her from her dreams. Especially not a bad boy with tattoos covering his arms and a butt that fits perfectly in a pair of Levis. Trevor Janes. There’s a reason Trevor does not get emotionally attached or spend more than one night with a woman. But since starting at the Songbird Saloon, he sees Lily almost every day and he can’t seem to shake these new and curious feelings. It’s not just Lily’s dark curls and spunky personality. There’s something more. After sharing a kiss one night, Trevor sticks to his rule and refuses to get close. That is until he wakes up and realizes he might have made a mistake. Is it too late? Either way, he doesn’t take rejection easily and he will spend his days figuring out a way to win her heart.
Both Lily and Treavor have been hurt by the people they trust in their lives and as a result they are slow to trust and protect their hearts at all costs. They have been circling each other at the Songbird Saloon where they both work when Lily takes a chance and Treavor rejects her. She then follows the safe path with someone else. Treavor realizes his mistake and tries to make it up to her. This is a story about how relationships with our parents affect us as adults and the walls that get built as a result. The book is a slow burn, emotional rollercoaster of a ride with a little bit of steam.
