The must-read companion to country singer-songwriter Caylee Hammack’s new album, coauthored by Hammack and New York Times–bestselling author Carolyn Brown.

On the run after her heart’s broken, Sam starts to wonder if she should have listened to her daddy’s advice: don’t get a vintage car until you know how to fix one. Now she’s stranded—along with her dog, Nibbler—in a middle-of-nowhere town no bigger than a matchbox until she can get her 1965 Mustang repaired.

Jack, owner of the one and only mechanic shop in remote Homestead, Texas, is a tall drink of water. And Sam quickly recognizes she’s his type from the glint in his pretty green eyes. So she’s pleasantly surprised when he offers up the refuge of his grandmother’s B&B, the Rose Garden, while he fixes what’s under the hood.

Still, Sam intends to be on her way in a few days—but then Ms. Kathleen offers her free room and board in exchange for helping out at her flower shop. Distracted by the blooms that surround her charming new home, Sam starts to feel settled for the first time in forever. But when local bookstore owner Noah catches her eye, she’s forced to confront her heartache head-on. Will she be able to let down her guard and trust again? Or will she follow her instincts and run for the hills?

With chapters inspired by Caylee Hammack’s album of the same name, Bed of Roses takes readers on a journey from heartbreak to healing. Shaped by the stories that molded her into the artist she is today, this novel is a rare opportunity to become fully immersed in her authentic sound and heartfelt storytelling—and a reminder to hopeless romantics everywhere that we need not wait for someone to bring us roses; we can grow them all on our own.

“A heartwarming smalltown gem that had me cheering on our heroine Sam from the very first page. . . . Her tenacity and tenderness shine through as she navigates the drama and gossip of a quirky little town. The characters are as colorful as they come—a few good, a few bad, and few you will never forget. And then there’s Noah, who owns the bookstore. Cue swooning. . . . Bed of Roses is a must-read. It’s Steel Magnolias meets your favorite country song. You’ll laugh, cry, and maybe even find yourself humming a tune by the end.” —Nancy Naigle, USA Today–bestselling author of the Adams Grove series
