Ruby in July - Paperback

by Vanessa Zian (Author)

What would you sacrifice for the dreams of the one you love?

Joey Conti Jr. has no problem getting girls into his bedroom. It's keeping them there that's the issue. With easy charm and a magnetic personality, he's convinced he's the man that helps women find their confidence-only to then outgrow him. But Ruby Francesca was the one that got away.

Ruby, a singer-songwriter with a voice that settles into your soul and never leaves, knew she was meant for more than small gigs in local dive bars. Sure, Joey briefly made his way into Ruby's heart. But when she got the unexpected Big Break she always hoped for, she ran full steam ahead.

Three years later, Joey's grandmother lies on her deathbed-requesting the presence of none other than the now famous Ruby Francesca herself. The gorgeous Mama Z and Ruby had formed an unlikely friendship, much to the surprise of Joey. Sure that there's more to the story than he knows, Joey sets out to find answers.

When hard truths are revealed, Joey realizes one thing-he's done taking the back seat. Ready to reclaim the love he deserves, he'll do whatever it takes to ensure wrongs are righted and Ruby is his once and for all.
