Rachel Myers never meant to stay in the small town of Payton. Her eyes are set on bigger things than waitressing at Clark's Bar. She wants to perform on a stage of her own with bright lights, fame, and fortune. But her dreams seem too far out of reach and so she stays put, content with the love of her boyfriend, Joshua Clark. He's a good man, a solid rock she can depend on. She wants that to be enough, but it hasn't quelled her yearning for the big city. Josh has never loved anyone the way he loves Rachel and he dreads the day she might leave him. He's happy in his small town home. Running the bar that has been in his family for two generations is a dream come true. He couldn't be happier with his life.until one night, a city boy from Hollywood promises Rachel a record deal and destroys everything. Jumping at a chance she never thought she'd have, Rachel leaves Payton. And Josh. But the sparkle of Los Angeles is not all it's cracked up to be, and Rachel quickly figures out that some sacrifices are not worth the risk. Is she too late? Will Josh forgive her, or has her desire for fame ruined the best thing she's ever had? Sometimes you have to say goodbye before you can say forever.Rachel Myers never meant to stay in the small town of Payton. Her eyes are set on bigger things than waitressing at Clark's Bar.
