Sweet Solace (Seattle Sound series) (Volume 1)

 When they first met, she was far too young--seventeen, and already in love with the man who would break her heart. Asher Smith was an up-and-coming songwriter, but he knew better than to show his fascination. He wrote a song for Dahlia. And then he moved on. His whiskey-rough voice made him a star, even as fame extracted its price.

When she sees Asher next, Dahlia Dorsey is the widowed mother of a teenager, a reclusive writer. She's given up on happy endings--she can't even script them for her characters. But a moonlit beach and the touch of an old friend turn loose her pain and her desires, whether she's ready or not. 

They're Risking 

 It AllDahlia's career is on the rocks. Asher's family is falling apart. Neither can chase a passing attraction. But for two souls wounded worse than they can admit, the connection between them is a balm too precious to refuse--and a thrill too exhilarating to resist...
