Tucker Hayes has spent his whole life knowing when to leave. Emory Caldwell is the first thing he’s ever wished he didn’t know how to walk away from.

He got everything he wanted the day he left her — the deal, the career, a song of his own. "Out of Nowhere" is the best thing he’s ever written. It’s also about her. And every time he plays it, he’s standing in her kitchen again, saying goodbye to the one person who never once finished his sentences, never once looked away.

Emory isn’t chasing him. She doesn’t have to. She saw the truth he’s been running from his whole life: he leaves so he’s the one who gets to decide. Now he knows she saw it. And a man who’s been seen can run, but he can’t hide.

In every song, there’s a bridge, the part that breaks the pattern and turns the whole thing toward home.

Bridges is Book Thirteen in the Nashville series, and the continuation of Tucker and Emory’s story from Second Verse.
