Synopsis ~
Ella Simmons does not want to move across the country. But she is, because her boyfriend has persuaded her to join him at UChicago to finish out her college education. Never able to tell him no, she hops on a plane and makes the trek from LA expecting to adjust to life like she's often forced to, but things are not that simple when she hears a luscious voice singing over her shower wall. His deep, sexy tenor makes her weak in the knees, spreading fire through her limbs and making her question everything about her life and relationship. Can one voice really have that much of an impact? Cole Reynolds is on his way out. In his final year at UChicao, the only this he wants to do is finish school and get on with this life. But the sweet voice that interrupts his morning shower turns his world upside down. Compelled to find his shower songbird, he begins a search across campus. The only thing to distract him from this goal is his roommate's gorgeous girlfriend who's just arrived from LA - Ella Simmons. Relationships are put to the ultimate test as future dreams are questioned and friendships are thrown on the line for love.
~ Excerpt ~
My
voice grew stronger as I sang through the first verse of Cheek to Cheek. Louis
Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald sang my favorite version of the song. I was so in
love with those two. Probably because my mother was a jazz/swing freak. Frank
Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong…they were always filling our house with
music. But Ella, she was my mom’s favorite and she’d quickly became mine. The
woman had a voice like an angel…the supreme songbird. That’s what Mom used to
say.
I
ended the verse strong on the high note and was about to dip low for the last
line when a deep, masculine voice joined me from the other side of the wall.
My
breath hitched, my heart rate tripling. Man, that was a sexy voice. My insides
flooded with heat and it wasn’t because of the shower. I bit my lip, wondering
how to respond. My mind was flashing with images of a naked man beneath his own
shower head. What did he look like? If the person matched the voice, he must be
built like a greek god. My insides coiled tight as I touched the tiles in front
of me.
I’d
never had such a physical reaction to someone’s voice before. I mean, yeah
David was sexy in his own way, but whoever was on the other side of this wall
was making my knees weak.
The
man chuckled, a low gruff sound from his throat…at least I think that’s what it
was. It was kind of hard to hear through the wall, but then he started singing
again and it was crystal clear.
He
finished the next line.
He
paused.
Waiting.
For
me.
Pressing
my lips together, I blinked a couple of times and then grinned.
