Yahoo! Life ∙ She Reads ∙ and more! Joni Lark has a secret. She’s one of the most coveted
songwriters in LA and yet she can’t write. There’s an emptiness inside her and nothing seems
to fill it. When she returns to her hometown of Vienna Shores North Carolina she hopes that
the sand the surf and the concerts at The Revelry her family’s music venue will spark
inspiration. But when Joni gets there nothing is how she left it. Her best friend is hiding
something her mother’s memories are fading fast and The Revelry is closing. How can Joni
write when her world is leaving her behind? Until she hears it. A melody in her head
lyric-less and half-formed and an alluring and addictive voice to go with it—belonging
apparently to a wry musician with an emptiness of his own. Surely he’s a figment of Joni’s
overworked imagination. Then a very real man shows up in Vienna Shores. He’s arrogant and
guarded—nothing like the sweet funny voice in Joni’s head—and he has a plan for breaking their
inconvenient telepathic connection: finish the song haunting them both and hope they don’t risk
their hearts—or their secrets—in the process. Because that melody the one drawing them
together . . . what if it’s there for a reason?
