Kolby Rae Fritz Nordengren

He?s unplugged and she?s connected. When they become lovers, it changes both of their lives for the better, until a journalist digs deeper into the past. As the public spotlight shines brightly on their relationship, they struggle with the public and private questions of who they are. She is Nashville singer-songwriter Kolby Rae, who wrote the best-selling country song of the last 20 years. The record label loved it so much, they told her to let another singer make it a hit. Nine million sales later, the other singer is singing in stadiums. Kolby Rae, after four unsuccessful albums, is leading her quirky band, loyal manager, and rookie sound engineer to a Tennessee farm to self-produce another record. She?s smart, pretty, talented, and still trying to figure out how to get it right. He is former professor Joshua Stone who is haunted by an unread letter from a dead colleague. Each morning, he sets the pink envelope aside to open another day. Pursued by the journalist in the aftermath of the campus tragedy that killed his friend, Stone is staying in a small cabin on the same Tennessee farm. Kolby Rae is a contemporary story about fame and public lives. The reader gets an All-Access pass view of life backstage and on the tour bus, as she balances performing and crowdfunding a new album. A romantic story, written with strong characters and rich personal dialogue, Kolby Rae reflects the love between two adults in an ever-connected world.
