Soho Sunrise

By: James, Darren Richard

She built a coffee shop to create community. He plays music to find connection. Together, they'll learn that love requires both passion and patience.

Naomi Williams has three rules for her SoHo coffee shop: No acoustic guitars before 9 AM, tips go to the baristas, and absolutely no falling for musicians. She learned that lesson the hard way when her ex-boyfriend chose touring over their relationship, leaving her with trust issues and a determination to never put herself through that again.

Then Marcus Reed shows up on her doorstep at dawn with a guitar and a voice that stops her heart.

Marcus is everything Naomi swore she'd avoid-and everything she can't resist.

A session musician chasing his dream of recording an original album, Marcus sees something special in Naomi from their first conversation. She's talented, driven, and creates the kind of community space he's always dreamed of being part of. Their morning coffee sessions on her fire escape become the best part of his day.

But when Marcus gets the opportunity of a lifetime-three months in LA recording his debut album-their barely-begun relationship faces its first major test. Can love survive when one person's dream requires constant travel and the other's requires staying rooted in place?

In New York's creative heart, where street musicians play for dreams and coffee shops brew community, Naomi and Marcus must decide: is love worth the compromise?

Soho Sunrise* is the third book in the New York Hearts series-an emotional contemporary romance about balancing art and love, learning to trust again, and discovering that sometimes the best duets require two people playing very different instruments.
