Two huge mistakes. One second chance.
Griffin
Music's a harsh mistress, if you want to make a living by her. Years ago, when I was on my way up, I met a man. Sparks flew, hearts leaped, you know the song. But I was chasing my dream all across America, and Lee was tied to our hometown. Hell, I was too old for him anyway, even then. So I left, and the connection we'd had withered and died, except sometimes in the lyrics I wrote. Now I'm back home and I've met him again at the lowest point in my life. He's still gorgeous and kind, but I'm battered and faded and paying for my mistakes. He can do way better.
Lee
When I was twenty, I thought the hardest thing I'd ever do was watch Griffin Marsh walk out of my life. Well, newsflash, fate always has more crap waiting for you. I spent more nights than I want to remember torn between hating him for leaving and wishing I could’ve gone with him, but life went on with the good, the bad, and the ugly. Now Griffin's back and he's a silver fox, still unfairly hot and talented. I lost my sister years ago, and my life is far less complicated. But, despite Griffin’s current disaster, he'll be heading off soon to concerts like Rocktoberfest and the wide musical world. Letting myself fall for him again would mean another round of being left behind. I'm not going to do that to myself, no matter how much I want to erase the shadows from Griffin's eyes.

The romance between Lee and Griffin is bittersweet. This is a second chance affair where Griffin returns years later to the man he abandoned for his music. Lee has always blamed Griffin and has not always looked at his own part in the breakup. The book raises interesting questions about how far people need to follow their dreams and remain true to themselves. Griffin’s music is an essential part of him. Lee’s sister, who needed his care, has died, but his mother is now in some need. Can he mix his love for Griffin with his love of family? There is a further parting before we get a cautiously happy ending. The music is central, the festival lies at the heart of the plot, and the love between the main characters is obvious, despite the things that keep them apart. As usual, this author addresses serious issues in the course of an apparently light story. And as usual, she is wildly successful.
