By H.B. Heinzer
Release date: August 1st

Synopsis:
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? 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?

Author Bio:
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.

*****Teaser Time*****
"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?
