The help only he can offer...
Cypress Pointe, Florida, is a long way from LA, where pop singer Cassie Branford needs a hit to prove she’s not a two-album wonder. But her case of writer’s block could be over when the struggling songwriter meets Luke Hastings at a family wedding.
The legendary musician walked away from success at the height of his career. Yet Luke is already inspiring Cassie with his dedication to building a permanent community outreach center for troubled teens. Volunteering to help bring music into these kids’ lives is also bringing her and Luke closer. Maybe they’re not as different as he thinks...
Her steady gaze held his.
Luke’s heart pounded. This close, he could see the different shades of green mocking his words. Cassie knew, maybe even better than he did.
“Talent like yours doesn’t just go away.”
“Maybe it should.”
The words hung between them. Time stilled as his blood raced. How had she focused on the fact that while he said he wouldn’t write again, the ability had never switched off? His brain still formed tempos and lyrics, even though he pushed them away every time they surfaced. For two years he’d lived without admitting the truth to himself. And now, by encouraging Cassie to deal with her fears, he was forced to confront his own.
With so little space between them, he looked down at her lips. What would she do if he crossed the line? Kissed her as a way of changing the subject?
Find out, his inner voice taunted.
Welcome back to Cypress Pointe, the sleepy Florida town where love and family go hand in hand with bright sunny days and warm tropical nights. The wedding professionals are busy once again, this time performing music in The Wedding March, the fifth installment in The Business of Weddings series.
Let’s face it, you can’t have a wedding reception without music and dancing. Who wants to miss rocking out to “Y.M.C.A.”? Or jumping into that line dance you can’t keep time to? I can already see you smiling. It takes talented musicians to keep guests on the dance floor. Cassie Branford and Luke Hastings fit the bill.
Suffering from writer’s block, pop star Cassie doesn’t know where to turn for inspiration, until she meets legendary songwriter Luke Hastings performing at her father’s wedding reception. Could he be the answer to her prayers?
Luke left the music industry and threw his life into teaching and starting a program for at-risk teens. He thought he had his life under control, until Cassie captured his heart. Can she convince him to jump-start her muse when he’s vowed never to write music again?
Thanks for visiting Cypress Pointe. You’ll meet new family members and friends, as well as catch up with previous characters from The Business of Weddings series.
