A singer in smalltown Tennessee gets her chance at love and stardom in the New York Times–bestselling author’s Southern romance trilogy debut.

Diamond Houston is singing for tips in a rundown roadhouse when her idol—the tall and temptingly handsome musician Jesse Eagle—walks in. Not only could Jesse be Diamond's ticket to Nashville, but he also does something special to her when their eyes meet. Diamond can’t ignore the unspoken promise of nights to remember . . . and the one thing she desires most of all: true love.

The voice of an angel brought Jesse back to this small I town in middle-of-nowhere Tennessee. And now that he's met Diamond Houston, he is enchanted by much more than her remarkable talent. But proud and beautiful Diamond is nobody's one-night stand; if he wants her, he'll have to change his rambling ways. And Jesse may have to risk everything if he wants this rare jewel to sparkle for him alone.

About the Author

With over fifty books in print, award-winning author Sharon Sala, who also writes as Dinah McCall, still has to remind herself from time to time that this isn't a dream.

She learned to read at the age of four and has had her nose in a book ever since. Her introduction into romance came at an early age through the stories of Zane Gray, Grace Livingston Hill and Emily Loring. Her pride in contributing to the genre is echoed by the letters of her fans.

She's a four-time RITA finalist, Winner of the Janet Dailey Award, three-time Career Achievement winner from Romantic Times magazine, four-time winner of the National Reader's Choice Award and five-time winner of the Colorado Romance Writer's Award of Excellence, as well as numerous other industry awards.

Her books are regularly on bestseller lists, such as the New York Times extended list, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, Waldenbooks mass market, and many others.

She claims that, for her, learning to read was a matter of evolution, but learning to write and then being published was a revolution. It changed her life, her world and her fate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2019

Diamond, the first book in this trilogy, was written several years ago. It grabs your interest from the first paragraph. Diamond is one of three motherless daughters of a gambler who grew up in a small coal town in Tennessee. The three daughters were looked down upon by the locals and as a result, learned to only trust each other. When their father, Johnny, died suddenly, the three girls found themselves at a crossroad. Diamond had an unexpected opportunity to go to Nashville for her chance to hit it big as a singer. She didn't know if she was joining the Devil or reaching for the opportunity of a lifetime.
You will want to be sure to read Queen and Lucky, the other two books in the trilogy! So don't miss out!

What can you say about a good Sharon Sala book but settle in, get ready and enjoy and you get to enjoy it three different ways! Triology - I'd read Queen first, than Diamond and last but not least lucky. I just wish she came out with one more that would take place afterwards. Loved it, the characters, story were fun, enjoyable ---- laughs and depths -- and I just love revisiting each in each one!

One of my all time favorites of author Sharon Sala. I loved Diamond and how she worked through her insecurities and became stronger and able to get what she wanted. It is a good read invoking all the emotions: smiles, sadness, tears and joy. Well worth reading the other book in the series Queen is also great. The last in the series Lucky was just okay but finished out the series and united the siblings so should also be read.

I have loved Sharon Sala since her Kismet days. These early works are warm and satisfying. Diamond is about loving someone and the need to make sure that they have the best. Even if you lose. True love. This is a gentle story. Not like her later books. I have read this story many times and I feel the same each time. Happy.

I first bought this book in paperback and I loved it so much I bought all 3 books in the series. I have worn out my copy of this book, so I was thrilled when it came out in kindle version (just wish the other 2 in the series would hurry up and come out in kindle version). Highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read. But start with "Queen".
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2014

I must admit I by-passed this series of books based on the cover itself....It did nothing for me. But knowing I liked the author, I finally gave in and started with Queen, then Diamond. Oh my goodness...Diamond was phenomenal. But you have to start with the first book to understand the dynamics of the family.

It is just simple reading, reading to read type of book. It keeps you interested but certainly can feel like the story is dragging on a bit. And heck it isn't hard to figure out what's going to happen. The characters are written pretty well. Overall I liked it, but I will say I have not downloaded the other two in this series.
