When the attention-avoiding daughter of a celebrity couple and a Texas cowboy college student with his own troubles fall hard for each other, they must face their truths together or be torn apart by a media storm.
Whiskey on Our Shoes
by Tonya Preece
Genre: Contemporary New Adult Romance
Eva
dodges the fans, media, and gossip that follow her supermodel mom and
rock star family members by wearing disguises. After an aimless gap
year, she struggles to figure out what she wants from life. She moves
in with her famous guitar god brother in Austin while he recovers
from a drunken stage stunt accident and tries to stay sober. When a
hot Texas cowboy named Alex takes Eva by surprise, she risks her
safety and security of anonymity by letting him into her
unconventional life.
Alex
is captivated by Eva and promises to protect her privacy. Yet he has
a secret of his own—the fling he had with an older woman is fraught
with scandalous potential for him and now Eva. He broke free of that
mistake months ago, or so he thought. As things heat up with Eva, his
old flame returns and won’t leave him alone.
Just
when Alex thinks he has the reins on the situation, his ex teams up
with a gossip reporter hell-bent on invading Eva’s privacy. The
resulting exposé, with a sly spin on a recent encounter with his ex,
is Alex’s worst nightmare, and Eva’s unsure what to believe. Can
she face the world with Alex at her side or will she return into
hiding?
