Growing up in small town Wisconsin, Carly Turner
couldn't wait to escape when she graduated high school. Now, she's living the
life in New York City, even if she isn't seeing her name in lights like she
used to dream about at night. She's living paycheck-to-paycheck, working behind
the scenes in small theaters off Broadway. When there's an equipment
malfunction the week before opening night, Carly makes a call that winds up
changing everything.
Life in the city isn't all it's cracked up to be. While she feels like she's getting closer to making the move from behind the scenes to center stage, she misses being surrounded by people who understand the quirks that come from living in a town of five thousand people. That, and the fact that he's sexy as sin, make Adam everything she feels like she's missing.
The only problem? He's her best friend's kid brother...
Adam Sanders wants to settle down, find a good woman and start a family like he sees so many of his friends doing. But how is he supposed to meet Ms. Right when he's constantly on the road for work?

Adam Sanders wants to settle down, find a good woman and start a family like he sees so many of his friends doing. But how is he supposed to meet Ms. Right when he's constantly on the road for work?
When he's sent to New York to handle a repair
that would typically be contracted out as a favor to his boss, he's just about
to his breaking point.
Everything changes when the stagehand sent to open the theater for him is none other than his big sister's childhood friend. The same girl he lusted after as a teenager. Could this be fate's way of showing him that he was looking in the wrong place for love?
As Adam and Carly's friendship develops, lines will be crossed and rules will be broken. Will they be able to come out the other side without destroying everything they had back in Brooklyn?

About the author:
With the exception of three years spent in the middle of
Nebraska, H.B. Heinzer has called southern Wisconsin home. During that time in
Nebraska, she imagined one of her favorite authors living on the far western
edge of the county, just south of the highway. At the time, becoming a novelist
was a distant dream for her. Now, she is the author living in that location.
Ironically, she later found out that same favorite author lives just outside
the town HB lived in for the first eighteen years of her life. Now, HB lives in the middle of nowhere but still close enough to the city to not feel isolated. It's the perfect place to let her two kids run and explore their huge yard, teach them about the food chain as they prepare their first-ever garden and debate building a chicken coop. It's one of those dreams that is only possible thanks to the amazing opportunities that have come through writing.

A lil tease just for you!!!
"Hello?" A deep
voice resonated from backstage. The way the timbre of the man’s voice echoed
off the acoustic panels in the empty theater sent a shiver down Carly’s spine. She
was surrounded daily by men whose voices could melt butter, but there was
something about this particular voice that heightened her senses.
"Out here," she
shouted, still wrestling to pull the set piece out of the curtain without
causing any damage Dax would make her fix later. She blew a stray hair away
from her eyes as the lighting contractor rounded the corner.
When she looked up, she
did a double-take. The broad shoulders and angled jaw were all new but there
was no mistaking the icy blue eyes looking down at her. They were the
same eyes she had seen nearly every day of her childhood. "Adam?"
"Carly Turner? What
are the odds..."
When she had moved away
from home, Adam Sanders had been a bit gangly and not nearly this tall. She figured
he would have grown up to be the man a woman grew to love for his heart despite
his awkward appearance. The fact that it looked like he wasn’t opposed to
spending time in the gym and he had lost the child-like face did nothing to
settle her nerves. Carly shook the thoughts out of her head. This was
Adam, the boy who had been the little brother Carly never had. Even if she had
never felt that familial bond with him, there was definitely a rule about
drooling over your best friend's little brother.
"Well,
I think they're probably long enough that there's no point in buying a lottery
ticket tonight," Oh god, did I just compare seeing Adam to
winning the lottery?
