Songbird — Caroline Tate

It all started with a song. Eye-opening. Soul-sparking. A song I knew so well, I could taste it on his lips whenever he kissed me.

Ellie Stone's only goal this summer is to get the Southport Music Festival off the ground without a hitch. But when she meets the funny, sexy, and nerdy Mason Matthews at a concert in Wilmington, they instantly connect on an honest, soul-stirring level.

As they head their separate ways after sharing an almost-night of pure lust, Ellie is ready to focus all of her attention back on festival prep. But when plans nosedive and the feature band pulls out of the lineup, she decides to get scrappy and take action. No matter who it involves.

After an ego-shattering scuffle with Mason in the middle of town, Ellie has to swallow her pride in exchange for his help promoting the event. But Mason swears his hands are tied.

While his feelings for Ellie continue to multiply, are they strong enough that he'll risk breaking company policy just to help promote her dream? Or will he leave her hanging on the very last note?

Songbird is a 65K word novel in the Stars Over Southport Series. Though it can be read as a standalone, it is best enjoyed before Book 2. Complete with an HEA, it's an opposites attract, small-town romance that begs one question: If you meet your soulmate in the middle of an empty meadow and no one is around to witness it, did it actually happen?
