What About the Song?

A September 2026 Reading Is a Lifestyle Subscription Book Pick

They once chased the spotlight. Now they’re hiding in the shadows.

Former college rodeo star Rhiann James flees to Nashville after a devastating fall wrecks her future. She finally finds a place to land at Elite Equine Therapy, where a barn full of hurting kids, a mysterious new horse named Shadow and their deepening bond with a traumatized teen slowly pull her into a different kind of arena.

Equine specialist Blaise “Sully” Sullivan walked away from his Nashville headliner dreams when a fire left him with scars across his throat––and his heart. These days he’s content to stay behind the scenes at Elite Equine and locked in the studio laying down guitar and fiddle tracks for pop and country artists while keeping his own talent buried.

Until Rhiann’s voice awakens an unfinished melody he thought he’d never sing.

When Elite Equine loses its largest donor, Rhiann and Sully must team up to launch a high stakes fundraising campaign or risk losing the one place that feels like home––for them and for the kids and horses finding healing there. Failure means empty barns, broken progress, and crushed dreams.

As secrets surface and trust is shattered, braving the spotlight may be the only way to save the stable, the kids they love, and the fragile hope growing between them. If they can lean into rediscovered faith, let the music tell the truth, and risk their hearts one more time, they might just discover that the God who met them in the shadows has been writing their song all along.

What About the Song? is a kisses-only, faith-forward, contemporary Christian romance set in Nashville, perfect for readers who love equine therapy, wounded-hero, and music-driven slow-burn love stories.
