You know those stories – where guy meets girl, they fall for each other, life does its best to tear them apart, but in the end, love conquers all and they embark on their life together? Yeah? Well, this isn’t one of those stories. This is more like some old country song. A song about a man and a woman who’ve already lived through great highs and lows. A man and a woman who’ve reached their … their fifties and who, despite humble beginnings have achieved great things in different ways.
He’s had an amazing career as one of country music’s biggest names. She’s raised a daughter and given her everything she needed to go out and succeed in the world.
They’ve both given their all to their chosen path in life, and when those paths cross, two lonely hearts finally see their chance at true happiness.
It’s hardly a spoiler to say that an old country song might end with the sun setting over two rocking chairs on a front porch. You’ll have to pick up your copy of this heart-warming romance today to find out if Marianne and Clay’s story ends that way.
This book is intended for readers aged 18+

Clay and Marianne’s eyes meet across a crowded room…sparks fly…could it really be love at first site? Clay thinks so, but he must convince Marianne that it’s real. It takes time and patience, but he’s a patient man.
It was wonderful to read a book about people over 50 that get a happily ever after! Well done, SJ McCoy! I can’t wait to read Chris’s story, and all others that I know will be branching off of this one!
Wow, what a great book. I absolutely loved Clay and Marianne’s story. I always enjoy SJ McCoy’s books.
What a fun and refreshing love story about an older couple who finds love later in life.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book!
I loved the fact that Clay + Marianne did not dive in right away into the relationship.
There were some intense chemistry, but they decided to take things slow.
But once they committed, they were all in.
It was a very sweet and heart warming story.
Loved the characters + the storytelling!
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
This is the first book in a new Silver series from this extremely talented author, and it is a refreshing change to read about an older hero / heroine. Marianne is Laura’s mum, and when she first meets Clay, who is a huge country star, they are instantly drawn to each other, yet she ran scared. Now a year later Clay is coming to Summer Lake and Marianne may be ready to take a chance. It was great to have a catch up from the well loved original characters in Summer Lake. This is a beautifully written story which had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read more in this amazing series. I highly recommend this authors’ work for all.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy via the author for an honest review.
You will love this mature couple. Marianne and Clay are just a delight to read about and get to know. Readers of Summer Lake will enjoy their time at the lake. We also get some Remingtons and Davenports. If you don’t know who these people are, that is ok too. You can just enjoy Marianne and Clay’s story. SJ’s stories allow you to just enjoy knowing these people. Dual point of view. No cliffhanger. Just a feel-good story with 2 incredible characters.
