ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 12, 2025

Morning yoga classes. Afternoon tea. Peaceful evenings in my perfectly curated apartment. My life was calm, predictable—exactly how I like it.

Until one call shattered my carefully built world.

My sister and I were never close, but her unexpected death left me with more than just grief. It left me her daughter, a girl with wide brown eyes and enough questions to break my heart. Now, I’m thrust into a life I never planned, juggling motherhood and grief.

But if that’s not enough, I meet Keane Stone—a man with a past as broken as mine.

He’s a musician hiding from the world, scarred by a tragedy he can’t forget.

He doesn’t want my help, and I certainly don’t have time for his demons.

But life has other plans.

Somewhere between his haunted melodies and my niece’s innocent laughter, I find myself drawn to him. He’s infuriating, closed-off, and completely unexpected.

Yet, the more I push him away, the more I realize he might be the one to help me rebuild my shattered world.

But how do you heal when the pieces you’re holding don’t seem to fit?

And what happens when the past refuses to stay silent?

The Sound of Forever is a story of healing, hope, and finding family in the most unexpected places.

REVIEW:If you like a healing, small town romance with musician vibes, then The Sound of Forever is the book for you. Written as a standalone, this fast paced, emotional, found family romance is a well written book that readers are sure to enjoy.

Keane is the typical moody musician, he poured his blood sweat and tears into his music, so much so that when it ended he couldn’t cope and turned to what all musicians turn to. Drugs and liquor. This led him to spiral both in his music and his life and ultimately into a coma for five years. Not only did this accident cause him to lose five years of his life, but something so precious it stops his breath. Now in the quiet small town of Luna Harbor, he strives to rebuild the little life he has left in him, not expecting much, simply wanting to live his life as quietly as possible.

Too bad fate has other plans for him.

Juliana is your average girl, living an average life, all up until she receives a call about her sister. A sister she hasn’t seen in nearly a decade is sick, ready to pass on and is leaving her young daughter in her care. A niece that she has never met, nor even knew existed up until now. At the advice of her brother, Juliana and Rayne return to their family summer home in Luna Harbor in hopes of helping Rayne come to terms with her mothers death.

When Rayne and Juliana move into the house next to Keane, he thinks nothing of it, but when she starts hosting therapy yoga in town their paths are bound to cross more and more. The trio embarks on a journey of healing, hope and found family all while dealing with the pain of a broken heart.

Wow what a heart wrenching story. This author has such a beautiful way of showcasing heart break but also turning it into something meaningful and moving. Keane, Juilana and Rayne are all suffering for different reasons, but the three of them each need each other for different reasons to heal and that is what makes the book so good. Each takes time to open up their heart to the other, to be vulnerable and then finally to see them happy together again was just perfect.
