Tennessee Wishes

Ava Morgahn arrives in Nashville with nothing but a fierce dream and a burning determination to make her mark in country music, but the city is shadowed by an unsettling rise in crime—a serial killer is lurking in the darkness.

With a shaky plan and a head full of hope, Ava secures a modest apartment and takes a job waiting tables at a popular bar, hoping desperately to land her first chance to perform on stage.

Then, fate throws her into the path of Owen Layne, a brooding rising star in the cutthroat world of country music. Despite battling his own demons and being haunted by a tragic past, Owen and Ava’s connection is instantaneous, a magnetic spark neither can ignore. Is it love at first sight—or something more dangerous?

When Ava suddenly stops communicating, Owen is left reeling, torn between doubt and longing. Was their connection just a fleeting spark, or is there something deeper at play? As the city shudders under the terror of a serial killer who has already claimed multiple victims, Owen wonders if Ava’s disappearance is merely a coincidence—or if she’s become the killer’s next target.
