About Listen to Your Heart:
Wedding planner Skye Douglas makes a career out of bringing fairytales to life—even if she’s given up on her own happily ever after. Instead of dating, she devotes time to her nephew, a guitar prodigy who shares her love for 80s hair bands. When she encounters Caleb Lynch, the new guitar teacher, everything changes. Caleb's passion for music—not to mention his Def Leppard T-shirt—makes Skye wonder if she might get her storybook ending after all.
Caleb would do anything for those he loves—including a fake engagement as a gift to his best friend's dying mother. But after meeting Skye, he regrets the promise he made.
When Skye realizes she’s fallen for the groom, will she listen to her head . . . or her heart?

Exclusive Excerpt:
My mouth snaps closed when I finally spot my nephew. Sitting
next to him is a man wearing a leather jacket with a Def Leppard T-shirt
peeking through. He’s holding a guitar and showing Eli how to make a chord. My
heart starts to pound as I watch the new music teacher interact with Eli and
the rest of the kids. He’s soft-spoken and patient, and when the kids strum
their guitars in perfect unison, his face morphs into the most toe-curling
smile I’ve ever seen on a man. Suddenly, he lifts his head and his eyes find
mine.
“Wow,” I whisper.
He doesn’t look
like a teacher. He looks like a rock star, with his grungy clothes and his
jet-black hair that’s just long enough to curl around the nape of his neck.
When class is dismissed, the mothers rush toward the new
music teacher, shaking his hand and offering their business cards, just in case
he ever needs to reach them. Equally disgusted and impressed with their blatant
flirting—and far too shy to participate myself—I find Eli and all but shove him
toward the door. He tugs on my hand.
“Aunt Skye, wait . . . I want you to meet
Caleb.”
“Could I meet him later? He seems really busy, Eli.”
My nephew shakes his head and pulls me toward the mommy mob.
I’m being ridiculous, I know. An hour ago, I was a happy, career-driven woman
who didn’t need a man to make her life complete. Now I’m nervous and sweaty and
acting like a girl with a high school crush.
Guess it doesn’t
matter how old you are. Pretty boys make you stupid.
I sneakily rub my clammy palms on my slacks just as the seas
part, and suddenly, I find myself staring into the deep blue eyes of the new
music teacher.
Pretty boys are even
prettier up close.
And we’re just staring at each other.
My totally oblivious nephew grows impatient with all the
staring and starts making the introductions.
“This is my Aunt Skye.”
He offers me his hand. “Hey, Aunt Skye. I’m Caleb.”
“It’s nice to meet you.”
“Pleasure’s all mine.”
“Eli’s really excited that you’ll be taking Ms. Carol’s
place for a while. I mean, he loves her, obviously, but we all understand that
she needs this time away, and it’s good to know that he’s in good hands and we
just really appreciate . . . everything.”
I’m babbling, but he’s nice enough to stand there and smile
at me while I do.
And he’s still holding my hand.
“Do you like music?” Caleb asks.
“She’s obsessed
with it,” Eli replies, and I’m suddenly reminded that there’s a ten year old
standing between us. Caleb must realize it at the same time, because he loudly
clears his throat and let’s go of my hand.
“Well, Eli is an excellent guitarist. I’m looking forward to
working with him.”
“Thanks. We’re really proud of him.”
“You should be.”
Eli beams as Caleb pats him on the shoulder.
We stand awkwardly staring at each other for a few more
minutes until Eli’s growling stomach breaks the spell. We all laugh.
“I should feed him. It was nice meeting you, Caleb.”
“Burger Palace?” Eli pleads.
Caleb chuckles. “They do have the best burgers.”
“You should come with us!”
Caleb’s eyes dart to mine.
“Umm . . .” Not that I have a problem
spending more time with Caleb. I’m just not sure a trip to Burger Palace is his
idea of a good time.
“I’d love to, if it’s okay with your Aunt Skye.”
Eli looks up at me with wide, hopeful eyes.
“Is it okay with my Aunt Skye?”
I laugh. “Sure, it’s okay.”
Caleb’s answering smile makes my body tremble in a way that
it hasn’t trembled in . . . ever.
I’m in trouble.
