A warm-hearted, fun filled rom-com novella laden with love, music...and cats.
When his ringing doorbell wakes Devlin from a post birthday party hangover, he finds a beautiful singing telegram dressed as a kitten on the other side, who leaves him intrigued and confused in equal measures. His mysterious songstress has the voice of an angel and the devil’s own temper to match.
Katherine ‘Kat’ Grant has one dream, and that’s singing. To achieve it, she needs admission to the exclusive Perdies College of Music. Kat’s adolescent years were difficult, being dependent on the charity of others left her with a fierce independent streak and a loathing of special treatment. She’ll succeed on her own merits without anyone’s help, especially the cheeky, alluring Devlin who seems to have squeezed himself into every aspect of her life.
Devlin knows he has the power to make all of Kat’s dreams come true. But wielding that power means he could lose her forever.
Can a charismatic cat loving hero and his sassy stubborn singer find their own love song? Find out, in Purr-fect Pitch.
EXCERPT:
The moon’s pale rays were the only light in the room. They flickered around his head and shoulders in fractured shadows, given movement by the immense Jarrah trees that surrounded Perdies on all sides. With his face in profile, he was a vision of beauty, a throwback to another time in history, to when the house was young and new, and the harsh light of electricity didn’t even exist. The muscles in his back and shoulders shifted under his white shirt, echoing the movement of his hands. If she had to describe the scene in a single word, Kat would pick wow.
“Good evening, Katherine."
She jerked at his voice. “How did you know it was me?"
“I recognised you by the sweet smell of your perfume.” He continued playing as he spoke. “I’m not wearing any."
The jar of a flat note pierced the melodic wall of sound. With a grin, he swung on the stool to face her. “There goes my air of dramatic mystery. To tell you the truth, I saw you sitting in the library. You completely ignored me, so I came in here to play."
He’d been watching her read and she hadn’t even noticed? Warmth borne of a desire she wasn’t ready to admit to, started at her toes and didn’t stop until it reached her head, lingering in a couple of interesting places along the way.
“You’re playing Moonlight Sonata by moonlight. I think you’ve nailed dramatic mystery."
