Signal to Static: A Small-Town Romance (Larkspur Book 2)

Birdie Wheeler's tiny radio station has 4 months left before its broadcast license lapses for good, and the only person who can fix the failing tower in time is the nephew who left to build a career being heard by people who mattered, on the condition he prove he was never really one of them.Theo Wheeler is good at exactly one thing: making other people sound better than they are. He's spent years doing it in Nashville, far from Larkspur, New Mexico, and further still from the aunt who raised him and the town that still remembers him as the helpful kid who never left a job half-finished. When Birdie's license renewal comes down to a countdown and a piece of failing equipment only he can fix, he comes home to do the one job nobody will ever put his name on.Vanessa "Nessa" Serrano isn't looking for anything to fix. Between her sign-painting studio and a decision she hasn't told anyone about, the last thing she needs is to fall for the one man in town who might actually leave again. But Theo keeps showing up in the small, unglamorous places she already lives, and some signals only carry if somebody stays close enough to hear them.Neither of them planned on this. Neither of them can walk away from it either.What readers can expect- A small-town setting built around a radio station and a hand-lettered sign shop- Dual point of view, alternating chapters- Clean, closed-door romance with a real deadline and real community stakes- A hero whose whole arc is about being seen doing uncredited, unglamorous work- Book 2 of 3 in the Larkspur Small-Town Romance Series If you love a hero who comes home and means it, a heroine with her own decision to make, and a love story that plays out in front of the whole town, start with Signal to Static.
