I never planned on coming home.
Pueblo was supposed to be behind me… the girl I used to be, the boy I used to love, the dreams I was smart enough to leave before they left me first. I had a career I'd fought for, an apartment with a view of the Rockies, and a plan that didn't include Jason Marconi or the mistakes I'd made when I was a silly teenager.
But now my father is in handcuffs on the front page of the Chieftain, leaving my mother with nothing but poor mental health, and the only place left to go is the one place I swore I wouldn't.
He's still there. Of course he is. Still behind the drum kit, still the kind of beautiful that makes you forget you're supposed to be over it, still looking at me like no time has passed at all. We were done. No matter why, I have even better reasons now to keep my distance.
Except my best friend has zero patience for my excuses, and the defense attorney who hired me sees exactly who I am. And the found family I never asked for keeps pulling me back to a kitchen table where Jason Marconi is always, somehow, already there.
I thought I knew what I wanted and we never fit together in that world. But now I'm starting to think I didn't know anything at all.
If Wishes Were Horses is an emotionally charged second-chance rockstar romance about a woman who built her whole life around never needing anyone, a drummer who never stopped waiting, and the question of whether two people can choose each other when everything else is falling apart. Perfect for readers who love found family, slow-burn reunions, heroines who out-lawyer their own hearts, and the kind of love that survives being left.
Genre: Romance
