Kara

I moved to Nashville to follow my dreams of being a country music singer.

Who would have ever thought I'd meet the love of my life at one of my first shows?

His enthusiasm for my music is evident, but when he gets his sister to invite all of her college friends to my next show, my music career isn't the only thing soaring through the night.

Silas

I always wanted to be a firefighter, but I never knew how much of a toll it would take on my personal life.

Finding the one took a back seat early on, and the thought of having kids was absolutely out of the question. I've seen too much heartache, and I would never put myself through the possibility of losing someone I loved.

I'm used to being the hero in everyone else's story, but I never knew just how much I needed a hero of my own—until I meet her.

Nothing blurs the line between right and wrong more than love …

Liza

After moving to the small town of Mason Creek, I meet the perfect man.

He's everything I've ever wanted—sweet, sexy, protective.

I fall for him fast and hard.

Then, I find out he's a senior in high school.

And he's one of my students.

I should walk away. Being with him could burn my life to the ground.

Trouble is, I'm starting to think it might be worth it …

Eli

I don't have time for romance. Between school and sports, I'm too busy.

Until I meet her.

I know I'm younger than her. I know student-teacher relationships are forbidden.

But none of that matters when I'm with Liza.

Soon, I'll be a professional baseball player, and the tiny age gap between us won't mean anything.

We'll have our happily ever after.

Assuming I can keep the disapproving world from breaking us apart first …
