Midnight Promises
Lea Thomas arrives in London in 1981 with a singular dream: to dance professionally. After a discouraging morning of auditions and job hunting, she ducks into a crowded West End pub to catch her breath. She never expects her life to change the moment a tall, charming young man asks to share her table.
Nick Braddock is in town recording his band No Account's second album at the legendary Battersea Studios. When he notices the redhead sitting alone, he takes the opportunity to introduce himself. What begins as easy conversation quickly turns into a spark between them - one that deepens as friendship blossoms into something undeniably more.As the pair navigate the demands of two very different careers, their bond strengthens amid the unpredictable world of rising fame. But when a coveted opportunity sends Lea across the ocean to New York, their love is tested by distance, missed calls, and escalating pressures of life in the spotlight. Still, they cling to each other with the kind of devotion that makes every goodbye harder than the last.
Yet beneath their connection lies a fragile truth: each of them is keeping a secret. One powerful enough to change everything about their relationship.When one of those secrets finally comes to light, it shatters the world they've fought to build. And the heartbreak that follows is devastating enough to tear them apart for good.
Years later, fate intervenes, forcing Nick and Lea to confront the past they thought they had left behind - the love they never stopped feeling and the opportunity for a future neither ever imagined. Sweeping from London's vibrant music scene to the neon pulse of New York, from intimate rendezvous in Europe that never feel long enough to the backstage chaos of touring across America, this emotionally charged second-chance romance explores passion, ambition, sacrifice, and the kind of love that never truly fades. A story about two people who found something extraordinary - lost it - and may finally have a chance to reclaim it before time runs out.Customer Reviews
