Author: Katie Graykowski

Katie Graykowski builds humorous Texas-set love stories and light mysteries from sports, extended families, and close communities. Changing Lanes is the third novel in her Lone Stars sequence, following Perfect Summer and Saving Grace. The story reunites professional football player Devon Harding with Laney Nixon, the girl he knew as a teenager but has not seen for fourteen years. Their inability to recognize the connection immediately turns a second-chance romance into a question of memory, timing, and honest disclosure. Laney’s work as a pediatric oncologist introduces a parallel storyline about caring for a seriously ill child and the family formed around that care. The 2014 novel combines football culture with grief and reconciliation. Her other series include the Texas Rose Ranch romances and the PTO mysteries, showing movement between romantic comedy and amateur investigation. Changing Lanes uses the Lone Stars team as a recurring social world while keeping Devon and Laney’s shared past central.
