Getting Back His Rhythm (Sweetwater Valley Book 4)

BIRCH

I shouldn’t have left my Clem behind.  I knew it was the wrong choice the moment I made it and let her push me away and into the life she thought I wanted.  I should have fought for her.  I should have grabbed her and taken her with me.

I can’t live with the regret anymore.  It’s made my life a living hell with no end in sight.  I could ignore it at first, when I was working to achieve my dreams.  Then the roar of success drowned out my misery for a while.  When it was time to head back into the studio after my first album hit it big, I had nothing to give, nothing to say.

If WPF Records hadn’t signed me, who knows what would have happened to my career.  Still, I need to produce an album.  Soon.  The only thing I know to do is to go back home to Sweetwater Valley and get my girl back.  Maybe I’ll get my rhythm back, maybe not, but I’d rather have her than the fame or even the music.  Clementine has been mine for as long as I can remember, and I can’t go another day without her.

CLEMENTINE

Sometimes letting go is the hardest part.  I had to let him go, knowing he would take my heart with him.  I know I made the right decision when Birch, finally, got his big break.  I found other ways to pass the time and other passions to help me ignore the hole in my soul.

I’ve found my footing while still living in the small town which was never going to be big enough for Birch’s dreams or talent.  I’m content and I’m thriving as best I can considering my soul belongs to a man who lives in the limelight far away.  Still, my heart hasn’t healed and I’m not whole.

When he comes back with all the right words and sorrow in his eyes, my heart wants to believe him, and my soul yearns for him.  I can’t help but wonder what will happen if he gets back the inspiration he’s lost.  Will he leave me all over again?  I won’t be strong enough to pick up the pieces and let him go a second time.

It is a standalone but is related to my Denver Family series (Banks Ink., Suburban Outcasts and Higgins Security) and my Sweetwater Valley Series.
