One Night in Memphis
What if a woman, tired of broken hearts and bad choices, traveled a thousand miles to the heart of Memphis, Tennessee, and spent a night forgetting her past in the blues clubs of Beale Street? What if a man who lost his wife to cancer ventured to Beale Street's social scene for the first time in over a year? And what if they met and realized love was still possible for them both?
Dakota James and Ethan Meriweather have both given up on finding happiness in a relationship. When they meet in downtown Memphis, at a crowded nightclub, neither has romance on the brain. But as the evening unfolds, and small talk turns to the stuff of hopes, dreams, and shared loss, a kinship grows that surprises them.
Before the night is over, though, Dakota's past will catch up with her in the form of a violent ex-boyfriend. As dawn approaches, and tragedy threatens to tear Dakota and Ethan apart, both will have to make a decision that could change their lives forever. Is new love worth putting your life on the line for someone you've just met?

Excerpt:
Memorial," the medic said. "The police will take your statement there."
You mean I'm not gonna be hauled away in handcuffs? Ethan closed his eyes. Cool.
"Is there someone we can call? Emergency contact? Someone who can meet you at the hospital?"
Lydia...
But Lydia was long gone, a stone marker in a cemetery on the other side of town the only physical proof she had ever existed in his life. He shook his head. Mike? Other than his best friend, Ethan couldn't think of a single person. "No one," he said. "I'll be fine."
The one medic, with a kind, wrinkled face, frowned. "You're sure?"
For a fleeting moment, Ethan thought of Dakota. Maybe she'll be at the hospital with Gunnar and Sarah, he thought. But the idea seemed absurd.
"There's no one to call. I’ll be fine."
I’ll be fine. How many times had he echoed those words in the last year? Ten? Fifty? Probably closer to a hundred. Yet they were always a lie. Always a cover for the pain that tightened his jaw, his chest, his life. Tonight, back at Piano Alley, had been the first time in forever that he'd glimpsed the possibility of remembering what fine truly felt like. And now it might as well be gone.
