Does she have to choose? Gillian Heart moved to Nashville to get a record deal-not end up on some playboy's arm. That's why she tells herself she can't get too personal with sexy music agent, Will Adams. Will makes her heart flutter, but he's also broken plenty of hearts in this city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWill thinks Gillian has what it takes to make it in Nashville, but he can't help being wildly attracted to her in a way that has little to do with music. She inspires him to change his ways, but he's still wary about mixing business with pleasure. He did that once before and got burned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut neither Will nor Gillian can deny the spark between them.

She worked in the music industry, met her true love, and fell in love with Tennessee. She let me sit in on music recordings and took me to the best music spots in Nashville. A few years ago, we brainstormed the idea of romance novels set in Nashville featuring a Southern girl as the lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is the novel's steam factor: sweet romance, sexy romance, or hot \u0026amp; steamy romance?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a women's fiction author, I'm afraid I'm never going to be considered hot \u0026amp; steamy except by my husband. \u003ci\u003eNashville by Heart\u003c\/i\u003e is a love story that falls somewhere in the low-to-medium heat category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow does setting play into this Southern romance?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNashville is this mecca for country music where you can order grits \u0026amp; fried chicken and visit antebellum homes while also enjoying a fast-paced urban lifestyle. At night, the down-home feel and the liveliness of show business converge, and that's what my heroine loves about Nashville. But it also overwhelms her, and she gets homesick for the small town where her roots run deep. She's trying to make it as a female musician, a girl with a guitar, but doesn't want to lose who she is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDo you believe in happily ever after?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf course! That's why romance fiction is fun to read. We can focus on the romantic side of the relationship, and after the end we feel like the couple will be happy. It reminds us that we can find forever love and be happy too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow is \u003ci\u003eNashville by Heart\u003c\/i\u003e different from your other books?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI mainly write women's fiction, and readers of \u003ci\u003eThe Real Thing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWaking Up Joy\u003c\/i\u003e enjoy the drama and struggles of the characters I've created. \u003ci\u003eNashville by Heart\u003c\/i\u003e is different-it's a fairy tale romance that takes place in the bustling music scene of Nashville.
