When a car crash changes everything in Harley James’ life, she has to learn to cope the best way she can: by throwing herself into work. Harley, once a promising vocalist, now runs the family business in Melbourne. But after ten years of sleepless nights and five years of managing it on her own, Harley is on the verge of burning out.
Her sister proposes a dare one night, a dare that provides Harley with an escape she never knew she needed. When Harley blows off steam three hundred kilometres away, she attracts the attention of local bar owner and guitarist Zach Black after she blacks out in front of him. It’s been five years since Zach has seen Harley… and ten years since she disappeared from his life after the fateful car crash that tore her family apart.
Can Zach hold on to Harley long enough to convince her to stick around this time? Can taking a break from the family business help Harley turn her world right-side up? Will she ever find the courage to sing in front of an audience again? Follow Harley as she seeks a solution to her blackouts and workaholism, all on her way to falling in love and experiencing a passion like never before.
'Harley is the human embodiment of chaos, her life is all over the place and her anxiety is so out of control she literally blacks out when it overwhelms her, it's full on. She works too much, she holds the weight of her family's world on her shoulders, and they don't seem to care too much. Zach is the man we all want and need in our lives; his gentle understanding of Harley and her chaos is comforting and a refreshing change from some characters in romance books lately. The story itself flows so well it is a wonderful read, it kept me entertained and wanting more once I was done. It is one I will re-read and that is saying a huge amount! This is a huge accomplishment for a debut novel. There is a little mystery, romance and not over-the-top but tasteful and well-done romance, a gentle and respectful but incredibly hot male lead, fun and music. Kimberley knocked this book out of the ballpark, and I truly look forward to reading what she writes next! (Black Eye...Cannot wait!!!)' Tegan Chamberlain, Goodreads 5-star review
'Harley James is all too human in her pursuit to face her grief, overcome her anxiety and find the right balance between living up to the expectations of her grandfather and fulfilling her role as the 'perfect' manager and saviour of her family business and having a life of her own. Add the perfectly handsome and charismatic Zach Black and you have the best page-turning holiday read with just the right amount of romance and intrigue to keep you hooked. I cannot recommend this steamy romance novel enough!' Tallaya Wood
