Ballad Moon
by Tess Thompson
Available on Kindle Unlimited
To the world, he’s the man behind the piano.
To her, he’s the whole show.
Blake Bennett came to Montana’s Crescent Moon Ranch to film a glossy celebrity wedding. Instead, her camera keeps finding Beck Reed, the quiet one, the piano player who holds Jack Wilder’s band together and lets everyone else take the bow.
Beck could have had the spotlight. Juilliard-trained and the pride of an old-money family with a plan for his life, he walked away from all of it to play country music in the background of someone else’s band. His family hasn’t forgiven him. He has made himself small ever since, certain that being needed is the closest he will get to being wanted. He doesn’t expect anyone to look closer.
Blake does. The daughter of a legendary documentary filmmaker who had time for four wives and none for her, she learned early to put her attention behind a lens instead of on the people in front of her. She took the job her father sneered at, determined to prove a wedding could be real art. She didn’t count on the truest thing at the ranch being the man nobody else notices.
As a slow Montana winter draws them together and the documentary turns from spectacle into something honest, Beck and Blake discover they have been running from the same thing in different directions. He faded into the background. She hid behind the camera. Now the only person either of them wants to be seen by is the one finally looking back.
Ballad Moon is the fourth book in Cowboy Christmas at Crescent Moon Ranch by USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson, a closed-door, slow-burn Christmas romance about a gentle hero the world overlooks and the artist who finally sees him.
Read this one if you love:
Five interconnected stories, one unforgettable Montana Christmas. Each book stands alone; together they tell the story of one magical month.
