The Cellist's Song of Passion

April Knight escaped hardship to become a celebrated cellist, but success never erased New Orleans’s Ninth Ward or the people who shaped her.

She comes home ready to give her music and her time to the neighborhood and to the next generation growing up there.

Damien Alexander, once the boy who believed in her before anyone else, is determined to rebuild that same community and asks her to help him do it.

Old friends with a shared dream should be able to keep things simple, yet every meeting wakes old feelings and a new, undeniable temptation.

The longer they work side by side, the harder it is to ignore a chemistry that feels less like friendship and more like a second chance at love.

Then the past threatens the future they are building, and neither of them can pretend the risk is only about the neighborhood.
