One night can change everything…
Nessa Sloan has been in love with Jimmy Baker since the ninth grade when they started up a rock band together. Five years later they’re about to hit the big time—Chaos wins a recording contract and nation-wide tour with Torrence Records. After their celebration party, the two best friends have a one-night stand that will tear their relationship apart.
On the run from Jimmy’s rejection, Nessa takes off on her motorbike, but an accident brings her escape to a tragic end. Now trapped in a broken body, Nessa has to face a future stripped of the one thing that’s gotten her through every past challenge—playing the drums.
Jimmy never meant to break his best friend’s heart, and he will forever regret taking her to bed then treating her like one of his groupies. But once he’d crossed that line, he couldn’t go back. Now Jimmy is on a mission to do something he’s never done before—win a girl over.
Angry and confused by her new disability, Nessa doesn’t want Jimmy’s help. But she has nobody else to rely on…and his pigheaded ass won’t leave her alone. Can these two stubborn hearts get past their own insecurities to figure out what true love really looks like? Or will they drive each other crazy before they finally see the truth?
It’s infuriating, irresistible, and all-consuming…it’s true love.

Review
4 Guitars
This is the first Songbird Novel that I had the pleasure of reading. Rachel is a young woman that has never had it easy. At the age of 16 she lost her mother. Before her mom died, she made Rachel promise to get away from her controlling father and use her beautiful voice to make something of herself.
Alone and broke, her only possession the guitar that her mom bought her, Rachel is homeless. Seeking shelter from a driving rain in a doorway she contracts a case of pneumonia.
Joshua Clark, part owner of Clark’s Bar finds an unconscious girl on his doorstep. She is burning with fever, soaking wet, and delirious. That is the start of their relationship.
Rachel still wants to pursue the singing career that her mom wanted for her. When she is offered the opportunity to go to LA and a chance to get a singing contract, Rachel jumps at the offer. You know what they say,
some things are just too good to be true. Rachel finds herself singing in a strip club forced to do things that she never would have considered doing.
How can she get out of the contract that she should have never signed? Will Joshua ever forgive her and take her back if she can get away. Read this book to find out what happens.
This story is full of drama, sex and heartbreak. The makings of a country song.
