She ran away to find herself-only to become someone she doesn't recognize.
Leah Branch is done. After years of chasing a fading dream, she welcomes her band's breakup as an exit ramp to a quiet life. She doesn't choose Chance, Wyoming; the tiny town seems to choose her. But even in a place this small, Leah can't outrun the rhythm of her own heart.
Working at the local saloon, Leah finds more than just a fresh start-she finds Jared. He's a fellow singer who understands her soul, but their shared passion becomes the very thing that tears them apart. When Jared walks away from the stage and the saloon's future hangs in the balance, Leah makes a choice that changes everything-she steps back into the spotlight.
Success arrives like a lightning bolt when a Nashville record label offers her the world. Leah leaps at the chance, seeing it as the ultimate escape from a shattered romance. But the Music City machine has its own plans. They change her look, they change her songs, they even change her name.
Now, Leah is standing on the edge of stardom, but she's also a stranger to herself. She has to decide: stay and lose her soul or risk everything to run one more time.
