Regan Kane arrived in San Diego with nothing but a violin, his car and what feels like a lifetime of grief. Although he’s surrounded by friends and music, one delivery from the post office reminds him that the past is always just around the corner. When he befriends a local bartender, Regan wonders if letting go is what he wants to do at all.
Georgia Hall has spent most of her life in the shadows of her mother's mental illness. Pushing away those around her ensures they won't get hurt when she succumbs to the same fate.
All of that unravels when she meets Regan. As her life spins out of control and the line between reality and fairytale blurs, she has to make a choice to trust or fall.
Regan and Georgia are searching for healing among the wreckage. Will doing so together make moving on all the more sweet?
Or will the secrets and darkness of the past drive them apart?

Move this book to the top of your TBR list! The story of Regan and Georgia is jam-packed full of humor, gut-wrenching emotion and leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy all at the same time.
Regan is a musician who just relocated to the San Diego area to work on an album with a band made up of close family friends. His cousin, CJ comes for an unexpected visit. As luck would have it, on the first day of the visit CJ talks Regan into stopping at E’s Tavern where CJ’s old friend Georgia works. By fate the band scheduled to play that night at E’s Tavern unexpectedly cancels and naturally Regan and his friends step up. And so begins the dance between two wounded and scarred souls.
Let me share part of a conversation between Regan and Georgia. They are in a bakery talking about flavors and variety in life. “I just mean, Georgia,” he teased, “people generally take the few basic and bare things afforded to us in this world and make them as complicated as possible. Us, though? We complicate it in beautiful ways. We have fun with it. Basically, we’re awesome.” The author took two complex characters and wove them in a complicated, beautiful and awesome way.
