With Stars In Her Eyes - Hardcover

by S. J. Cunningham (Author)

She's lost everything. Now she must find herself.

Zoe Puckett was once Victoria Bryant-polished, photogenic, and fabulous. She'd left behind her small-town, backwoods roots and tasted success. Until scandal, wrapped in the bad-boy package of a grifter named Griffin Stangel, stripped her of the life she built. Now, she doesn't belong anywhere-not Boston, not her birthplace of Willow Creek, West Virginia, and certainly not in the small town of Madison, Pennsylvania.

She's a woman scorned, and what begins as a nothing-to-lose escape explodes into a disastrous scenario. A near-death experience, a bottle of Wild Turkey, a whiff of desperation, and a taste for revenge can make a girl do crazy things. Like crash an ex's wedding.

Enter Teddy Glasser, a stubborn bartender with a past as complicated as Zoe's. As Teddy becomes her reluctant protector, old loyalties and buried wounds surface. Family secrets and the ghosts of a former life force them both to choose between keeping those secrets and stepping into who they're meant to be.

A story of redemption, messy forgiveness, and the quiet courage it takes to start over-sometimes you must hit rock bottom before the stars in your eyes can finally shine. Zoe's fall brings her full circle, where unexpected love and hard-won forgiveness prove that the bravest thing you can do is be yourself.
