Coming Soon!
August Lane
From the author of The Art of Scandal comes a small town romance about the visibility of Black women’s voices in country music, for readers of The Final Revival of Opal & Nev.
​
A Black country music star who lied about writing his only hit risks his comeback to reunite with the woman he stole it from, a first love the lyrics won’t let him forget.
Praise for The Art of Scandal
"A gorgeously soapy debut . . . [Nathan and Rachel's] chemistry is off the charts."
New York Times
"As poignant as it is passionate, this marks Black as a writer to watch."
Publisher's Weekly Starred Review
"A sultry story about family, forgiveness, art, and embracing love, even when it’s inconvenient."
Library Journal Starred Review
