Sewanee Chester narrates audiobooks from a sound booth, far from her former life as an actress. Her film career ended after a tragic accident, but she has built a new existence caring for her sick grandmother. At a Las Vegas book convention, she meets a captivating stranger for one memorable night. Back home, she receives an unexpected offer to record the final novel by a celebrated romance author. The project pairs her with Brock McNight, the most sought-after and mysterious voice in the business. Sewanee swore off romance narration years ago after her dreams collapsed. Yet respect for the deceased writer and her grandmother's mounting medical needs convince her to accept. Working under her old pseudonym, she connects with Brock through their anonymous collaboration. Their partnership awakens feelings she thought were buried forever. When hidden truths surface, her fragile new hopes face destruction. Sewanee must choose between the safety of her controlled life and the terrifying possibility of love and creative fulfillment.
