When country singer Dixie Pearl’s van breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Tennessee, it feels like rock bottom. Dixie prides herself on her independence, but after a string of health struggles, her Nashville dreams have never felt more out of reach.

Enter Jack Carter, the rugged, charming local who pulls her out of the ditch. Dixie’s used to the grit of dive bars and the chaos of life on the road – not someone as steady and grounded as Jack.

Jack’s life is anything but simple, but firecracker Dixie throws him completely off balance in the best way. As sparks fly, Dixie faces a tough decision: keep chasing her dream or take a chance on a life – and a love – she never expected.
