One More Round - Paperback

by Amber Palmer (Author)

Olivia Hart always dreamed of following in her father's footsteps to become the CEO of Hartstring Records-the massive record label that's been in her family for generations. Before he died, she vowed she'd do whatever it took to make that dream a reality, regardless of the personal cost.

Now, at thirty-seven, she's kept her promise. Only, instead of bringing her joy, she finds herself divorced and resenting her position at the top, forced to prioritize her career over her daughter, Charlie. The days are long and the nights are lonely. She finds herself longing for a fraction of the happiness her ex has found after their divorce. When Olivia gets an unexpected call from her brother that their uncle's health is failing, she seizes the opportunity to step away from the career that has become more of a chore and drops everything to head back to Tennessee and the charming little town she left behind.

It doesn't take long for Olivia to realize that not everything is the same as it was before she left. Especially not her brother's best friend.

Duke Bennett was carefree and vibrant the last time she saw him, but now his dark eyes are haunted by something that wasn't there before. He's brash, stubborn, and adamantly against her being back in his life for any reason. Unfortunately, his daughter and Olivia's have become inseparable, and there's no avoiding each other. What starts as after-school playdates and Saturday morning soccer games reluctantly becomes more. Before she knows it, her brother's broody best friend becomes the one thing that makes her feel free for the first time in years, giving her hope for something she thought she'd never have.

As Olivia's time in Pinecrest comes to a close, she is faced with a decision that could wreck her heart either way. Does she walk away from Pinecrest and return to the dream she thought she always wanted, or will she realize that sometimes it's the legacy you choose that matters the most?
