Renowned as a child prodigy, Audrey performed all around the world until a kidnapping attempt at age seventeen left her shaken and withdrawn. Eight years later, she continues to shun the spotlight and keep men at arm's length. And yet, she finds something undeniably appealing about Elliott. Despite Audrey's resistance, Elliott's determined to get closer to her by volunteering at a community center where she teaches music. When they have to work together to save the center, their star-crossed paths merge and blend together, creating the melody that binds them together for a lifetime.
