He makes my sad songs better, and I’m becoming someone I hardly recognize.
Myself.
I’m a strong independent woman until something’s wrong with my car.
Last year, I took a leap of faith—or maybe delusion. I loaded up my dusty guitar
and left twenty-two years of baggage behind.
That’s right. Lucy Sky Brooks took it on the run, baby.
But somehow I moved two hundred miles away from double shifts and family drama just to get tangled up in a toxic relationship. Now I’m tiptoeing around my boyfriend’s explosive personality, hoping it’s temporary and he’ll come to his senses … as if that method of conflict resolution has worked in the history of ever.
When my car, my job, and my relationship break down, my favorite neighbor, Daniel Crawford, handles it all with a wink and a grin. Even when it’s no longer funny. Because DC’s a fixer. Like me. He’s just better at it.
He’s also got better hair and he’s a way better guitarist. Don’t get me started on his gritty salted caramel voice or his shameless flirting tactics to get me to sing, because when we sing together—
Freaking fireworks.
Everyone says he loves me, and I know he does, but it’s never been like that.
Until I remember the hallway.
The music room.
The coffee shop.
The ever-loving kitchen.
I’ve got to get out of town … and out of DC’s hair.
Literally.
Hey Jude is a swoony sweet & snarky closed door Southern romantic dramedy with heart-stopping tension, hilarious found family, a touch of danger, and more power ballads than you can fit on a mixtape.
