Spring's Eternal Song — Katie Mettner

Will Vince's deep spiritual connection to Spring, and her fighting spirit, be enough to bring her back from the brink of death? Spring Lewis knows death. As a nurse in the ICU, she has experienced more than her share of it at only twenty-seven. She's also acutely aware not everyone who dies stays in the afterlife. She convinces herself she's still single because no man can deal with what her job requires of her, but her heart knows the truth. She's scared of losing another person she loves. Vince Roundtree has devoted his life to one thing, music. As the tuba professor at the University of Hedgeford, he spends his day shaping the lives of young people and his nights questioning every aspect of his personal life. He struggles to find his identity as an over thirty-five-year-old male in a dating world meant for twenty-five-year-olds, and it hasn't been easy. One early spring evening, in a darkened Hedgeford park, Spring and Vince's paths intersect, jarring them both out of their boring lives and offering them a future together, if they can put aside past hurts. As their budding romance grows, Spring stumbles across the truth about a secret someone in Hedgeford, Wisconsin has been harboring. He's good at silencing people, and he will do it again to keep from being exposed. A mother's anguish, and eight determined souls, will convince Spring to reveal a coverup too hot to handle. It will be up to Vince to save her from certain death, but only if he can find her before time runs out.
