Adult & contemporary romance

An R&B singer and a corporate executive find love

in this swoon-worthy romance by Kristina Forest, USA Today bestselling author of The Partner Plot.

Iris Green is a woman with a plan. Between her role as the director of partnerships at a beauty company and raising her daughter alone, there's no room in her life for spontaneity. One thing she hadn't planned for is a certain singer walking into her office and taking her breath away. . .

R&B star Angel Harrison has it made. He's a successful musician and he's just scored a brand ambassador deal with an emerging beauty company. But he's still not fulfilled; there's a gaping hole in his love life. That is, until he meets Iris at the company headquarters and feels like things might finally be about to change.

Despite their attraction to each other, Iris and Angel try and pretty quickly fail to remain professional. But when it becomes clear their lives aren't in sync, can they fall back in step to the same rhythm, or will their love forever be off key?
