A Country Love Story — Kristy K. James

Every now and again, Kristy K. James offers to write reader requested short stories – if fans provide her with a couple of names and a few details. Of course, they know that all suggestions must fit into the clean and wholesome, have serious romance potential, and – above all – send the hero and heroine on the winding, sometimes rocky road to their very own happily-ever-after! 'A Country Love Story' is the result of one reader's request. Etta never imagined that she'd wind up chauffeuring a famous country singer and his band from coast to coast, but she'd been driving the tour bus driver for Lucas McCoy for three years. She'd been in love with him for almost that long too. Not that she'd breathe a word of that secret to anyone because everyone who knew anything knew that guys who graced the cover of national magazines like Hunky Heartthrobs – twice – couldn't possibly be interested in a plain Jane girl like her. Could he? Even if there was a one in a million chance that he could, she shouldn't risk her job, or the friendship that had developed during their late-night talks as they traveled from one concert hall to another. Should she?
