Secondhand Hearts

As a member of a top country-western band, Chase has the money and fame he’s always wanted. When he meets the beautiful woman who owns Treasure Mountain Pawn, he has to hide both of those things from the one person he wants to know everything about him. When Elena sees Chase for the first time, his turquoise eyes and tousled brown hair convince her that she might believe in insta-love. Just in time, her brain takes over, reminding her that her business is in trouble, making her future uncertain—not a good time for love. But being with Chase is as easy as following her heart, until she finds he has a secret big enough to break it. An abbreviated version of this story appeared in the Hidden Identities anthology.
