By A. K. Smith
Where You Find Me is a heartwarming small-town romance about coming home, rediscovering dreams, and finding love in the most unexpected places.
After a failed career and a broken engagement, Emmaline Bennett returns to Hollowbrook, Texas, hoping to put the pieces of her life back together quietly. What she doesn't expect is to run into Atlas Benson, the brooding pianoist from her teenage obsession: Velvet Drive. He's older, quieter, and more guarded than she remembers-but the spark between them is impossible to ignore.
As old wounds resurface and new dreams begin to take shape, Emmaline and Atlas are pulled into a love story written in lyrics, memories, and second chances. With an acoustic EP on the horizon, a benefit concert in the works, and their futures more entwined than ever, they'll have to decide what really matters: the spotlight or the quiet magic of building a life together.
Where You Find Me is a soulful and romantic novel for fans of music-infused love stories, heartfelt reunions, and the kind of connection that always finds its way home.
