Seraphina said it almost as an afterthought. Hunter couldn’t stop hearing it.
That’s one of my favorite parts of Second Song: the way an ordinary conversation becomes music.
She writes romances. He writes songs. Neither is having much luck with their own love story. Then one little phrase follows him home.
Would you rather someone write you a song or a love letter?
(I’m allowing “both.” We’re romance readers.)

Some children learn very early what other people think they can’t do.
Ivy’s mama had a different opinion.
“Don’t You Believe That Lie” belongs to the little girl inside the woman who eventually walks onto those big stages.
Meet Ivy in First Moon, the prequel to Cowboy Christmas at Crescent Moon Ranch.
Whose encouragement have you never forgotten?

Everyone knows she’ll handle it. The phone call. The school pickup. Whatever happens next.
But who notices when she’s worn out?
“All She Carries” comes from Second Song in The Parent App series. Hunter wrote it for the mothers whose ordinary, relentless acts of love made him see what he’d been missing.
This one is for the woman who says, “I’ve got it,” before anyone even asks.
Send it to a mother you’d like to take care of for a change.
