Long description:
Sometimes the star you wish on is the one that leads you home.
Delanie Fletcher has finally caught a break. But after one innocent mistake, the aspiring actress gets cancelled by her fans and fired from a lucrative TV gig by her own boyfriend... ex-boyfriend. Returning home to bury the grandmother who inspired her—and piece her life back together—she runs smack into the man who crushed her heart by remaining behind when she left.
Caleb Toews gave up his screenwriting aspirations, but the divorced dad wouldn’t give up his daughter for the world. When his high school sweetheart breezes back into town as the director of his daughter’s play, he can no longer ignore his old regrets. But Delanie was born to be on the big screen, and his place is in Peace Crossing—far from Canada’s film industry.
As Delanie once more comes to rely on Caleb’s steadiness and creativity, she sees why her grandmother quit acting for love. But she’s not ready to give up on her career, nor the man who has always believed in her. Despite what the kids sing in the play, wishing on stars won’t make all your dreams come true . . . will it?
Every Star that Shines is the first book in the clean, sweet Peace Country romance series. If you like second-chance small-town romance, relatable heroines with big dreams, stand-up guys doing their best, and emotional page-turners with happy endings, come get to know Caleb and Delanie.

Goodreads reviews
Quotes from the Book:
The good looks he’d had when they’d dated in high school had matured into a rustic, casual magnetism he still seemed completely unaware of, but which made Delanie’s mouth go dry.
– Every Star that Shines by Talena Winters
“I have a confession to make. I never got over you. Not for a single second.”
– Caleb, Every Star that Shines by Talena Winters
“Look. First star of the night…”
Caleb pointed out the living room picture window and helped Delanie to her feet, pulling her to come stand next to him. “Make a wish.”
Delanie gave him a long, uncertain look, then glanced at the pinpoint of white light before closing her eyes for several long seconds. He stared at her, drinking in her presence, knowing she couldn’t feel uncomfortable about his gaze if she couldn’t see it.
Her eyes fluttered open, and she blushed. “Were you looking at me the whole time?”
His face warmed. “Maybe,” he mumbled.
“Didn’t you make a wish?”
He shook his head. “I don’t need to. My wish is standing right here.”
He pulled her into him and enveloped her in his arms. She stiffened, then relaxed and wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning into his chest.
“I have a confession to make,” he said. “I never got over you. Not for a single second.”
After a pause, she said, “A wish isn’t enough to overcome all the obstacles between us.”
“No. But it’s enough to make me believe we could. This time, I have no intention of letting you go anywhere without me. Whatever happens, I want to give us a fair shot.”
