Holly Theriot is fine. She’s fine. Lots of people have mortifying one-night stands, get drunk in their pools, and end up at the walk-in clinic on their fiftieth birthday. Widowed five years, she’s got the whole everything is fine, this-is-a-good-enough-life routine down pat. The Louisiana recording studio she built with her late husband is back on its feet and her son is away at college.

There is one thing she misses… that didn’t go so well on her birthday, but now there’s a cocky Texas guitar player out in her pool house. He’s the perfect, here for a good time not a long time man to help her with her problem.

Adam Sexton walks through life a star. Not Keith Richards level famous, but it comes with some perks and some swagger, a trail of broken hearts, and a lot of sacrifices. He might play to thousands of fans, but at the end of the night he’s alone in his hotel room. It’s not the life people imagine, not a life built for relationships. That was fine when he was younger. Fine and a lot of fun. But now, when he finally wants something different, when he crosses paths with the woman he fell in love with twenty years ago, all she wants is that old version of him. Karma can really be inconvenient.
