Playing With My Heart Strings

Dusty Wilder is Nashville and country music’s latest heartthrob.

Dusty Wilder is Nashville and country music’s latest heartthrob. But when his label realizes his music isn’t hitting the charts like they need it to, they hit him with an ultimatum: Star on the new reality TV show Heart Strings to find love and a new partner to tour with, or leave country music altogether. Dusty has never agreed with the label’s decisions, but now he’s got nothing to gain and everything to lose.

Baylor Sommerfeld always thought a degree in public relations would lead to bigger and better careers than reality TV. All she wants is to lay low and grind her way to Capitol Hill. But the night before filming is set to begin, a drunken mistake causes a video to go viral, and the only way for her to keep her job is to join Heart Strings as a contestant vying for Dusty Wilder’s heart.

Neither Dusty nor Baylor want this. After all, love is just a performance to them both. But when lines blur and real feelings can no longer be ignored, it becomes hard to separate reality from reality TV.

With their careers on the line, what are they willing to risk? Can they dig into the deepest parts of their hearts together, or will this game they’re playing cost them everything?
