Setting: Jinks, Texas


Eddie C, the other half of rock and roll's bad boys, has been tossed out of his sister in law's house... again. C seems to delight in angering Lyla, and wonders why his twin, T, married her.. While looking for a place to spend the night, C discovers Lyla has taken perverse pleasure in warning all the area motels that he's looking for accommodations. C's next counter step is to buy some real estate.

Jemma Lovelace runs the Lake Country Real estate company for her incapacitated father. The thirty seven year old woman has never married and doesn't ever expect to. Past experience has taught her men can't be trusted. Despite her resolve, she finds bad boy rocker Edward Charles Samuels laying seige to her heart. Can Jemma remain true to herself?

In this sequel to Lyla's Song, the town of Jinks once again becomes divided over the attentions a rock star lavishes on one of their women. Who would believe one small town could be hit twice by split loyalties, but this time, they're better prepared to handle the situation. C finds unlikely support in grumpy Norm. Band manager Fletch arrives and his true colors begin to show through, when he makes Jemma aware of C's past relationships.

Reasons for C's harrassment of Lyla gradually unfold and readers come to understand his fears for himself and his twin. Highlights of their childhood color present attitudes and behaviors. There's a great deal C has to learn, but Jemma's own battles open his eyes and his emotions to something new.

Characters are given more depth and readers can better understand what makes them tick. Jemma's Heart is meant to be read with all the heartbreak and joy only newfound love can evoke.

Kay Layton Sisk is a rising star to be carefully watched in the world of contemporary romance.
