Jack-of-all-trades Nick Sherwood is just one leaf on a vast family tree that includes a restaurant chef, hotel owners, and even the headline act at a family-owned theater.

After a disaster of a first impression and financial difficulties land Gloria in the humblest of jobs—with Nick as her boss—it might be time for her to learn to sing a new song.

ExcerptConscious of the passing time, Gloria scrambled out of her wet shirt and slipped into the gigantic dry one. She rolled up the sleeves, then gathered the mid-thigh-length fabric and tucked it into the waistband of her damp jeans. After wringing out her T-shirt into an empty bucket in the corner, she left the office behind and carefully retraced her steps toward the rehearsal room. Late, damp, and in an oversized mechanic’s shirt. What kind of impression would she make now? She’d have to prove her worth with her voice alone. Thankfully the pain in her knee had faded, leaving a sore spot on her shoulder as the only lingering damage. At the site of her previous fall, Nick soaked up the last of the spilled water while one of the brothers looked on. Spotting her approach, the man left the janitor and hurried to her side, his eyes scanning over her attire. “Is that the best Nick could come up with? Sorry we don’t have better.” She covered the monogrammed name over her heart. “It’ll do for now until my clothes dry out.” She shook out the more-than-damp T-shirt. “Sorry to make everyone wait on me.” “No worries. We’re sorry for such a welcome. I’m Gavin, by the way.” “I’m Gloria. And it’s nice to officially meet you.” She added a regal nod to offset her borrowed hillbillyish appearance, then grinned. If only she could ignore the uncomfortable sensation of Nick watching her. Watching them. Gavin winked, then offered his elbow to escort her away from the janitorial tasks and toward her future as a singer. Her smile grew when she realized she’d captured the handsome man’s full attention for a minute. The added confidence lingered as they crossed the threshold into a room holding a piano and two semicircle rows of chairs with a half dozen other people mingling around. The snickering blond from the corridor had already claimed a front-and-center seat, the perfect spot to smirk at Gloria’s borrowed shirt…and frown when she noticed the handsome man escorting Gloria. While Gloria didn’t want to make any enemies on her first day, it was a nice reminder of her fresh start. With a new town and a new job, maybe she deserved a new guy, too. Especially since it appeared there were plenty of men to go around. While she was in Branson, she might as well enjoy herself. “Gloria.” The other brother, Tyler, noticed their arrival and hurried over. “Sorry for the accident this morning. Our welcome mat doesn’t usually include a free shower.” She forced a self-conscious laugh and tried to pretend like it didn’t matter. “It turned out to be a refreshing wake-up since the weather is already warmer here than back in Colorado.” “Well, thanks for being a good sport who can handle the unexpected. We need that around here.” Tyler punctuated his words with a wink, sending a flutter through her chest.
