*~*Love Note: Devon to Abby – Spotlight Series by Kristen Strassel*~*
Abby Gauthier is close to getting everything she’s worked so hard for. The band she manages, Sinister Riot, has been offered a major record contract. But it comes with a catch: the band must add Eli Jamison, winner of the talent show The Spotlight, to the lineup.
Devon Sinclair is the singer of Sinister Riot, and he’s Abby’s best friend. She’s in love with him, but fears she’ll lose him if she makes the first move. Devon knows adding Eli to the band is a mistake, and he’s right. Eli’s interested in more than just making an album. He wants to take control of the band, and he wants to get to know Abby better. A lot better. When tensions between Devon and Eli threaten to destroy Sinister Riot, Abby must act on her true feelings or lose everything she’s ever wanted.

When Daisy meets Cam, she isn’t sure she’s ready to let go of the ghosts from her past. Cam’s ex-wife isn’t ready to move on either, and the tragedy she causes will expose Cam’s secrets and shatter Daisy’s family.
Will Daisy be able to follow her heart into a future with Cam, or will her grief keep her trapped in a past that no longer exists?
The trouble with Bree is…
Bree Farrell is ready to turn her life around. A twenty-one-year-old mother of two, she’s not sure where to start. She could use a little help, but her string of horrible ex-boyfriends keep setting her back. First step: she’s swearing off men forever. Or at least until she gets back on her feet.
Josh Maxwell got a second chance at life, and now he wants to help kids who are in the same situation he was in. His new job as the coordinator at a preschool for underprivileged kids is the perfect place to do that.
On paper, the policy not to get involved with the families of the students makes perfect sense. But when Bree meets the new coordinator of her son’s school, she and Josh learn that some rules are made to be broken, no matter what the consequences.
Devon just wow’d me…big time…

Abby—
So many nights I dreamed about kissing you, how sweet your lips would taste. I was terrified to do it, because every relationship I’ve ever had was a disaster. It was painful to leave without touching you, but I wanted all of you in my life forever, and that kiss could have torn us apart.
When I woke up half dead in that hospital room and saw you there with me, I knew I could never live without you. You loved me at my absolute worst. You loved me without wanting anything in return. And you believed in me when I wasn’t even sure that I believed in myself. Everything I have is because of you.
I realized, lying in that hospital bed, that I was fucking crazy. I’d been in love with you forever, and that’s why the only parts of my life that worked were the ones with you in it. So I took a chance, and I will never, ever regret it.
I love you because you don’t apologize to anyone for being yourself. All of the best times I’ve had in my life have been with you. I love that you were always my friend, just because you wanted to be. You’re passionate and driven, and watching you work is the sexiest thing ever.
You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. And I want to be the best thing that’s ever happened to you. You make me better, Abby, just because you believe in me.
Tonight, I want everyone to know that you’re mine. I want to kiss you under the stars by the Riverfront and dance in the middle of street to a jazz band. We’re just going to let the night take its course, because the best moments with you just happen without even trying.
Happy Valentine’s Day, baby. You are my everything.
Devon
