Two months in London might remake them. Or it might break them all over again.
Lydia Howard Fox, legend in the world of film scoring, is at her lowest. With an artist’s block having just pulled her out of what might be her biggest job yet, she’s got nowhere to go but up—and away, across the ocean, far from her LA home, back to basics at Crescendo, an orchestral composition school in the heart of London.
Ella Hendrickson might have known music once, but since the loss of her brother, all she’s known is her radiology work at her London hospital. But when she finds herself in music again at Crescendo, she’s in way over her head, with expectations higher than she could ever reach.
Until Lydia Howard Fox herself moves in with Ella for the two months of the program, and Lydia sees potential in her. And if there's one thing Lydia knows, it's how to get her way.
But rivalries and alliances in the shadow of London’s greatest stage aren’t the only things heating up, and musical potential isn’t the only thing Lydia sees in Ella. With their worlds split on either side of the ocean, can they resist the magnetic pull towards one another, or will Ella be Lydia’s countermelody in a song they know they shouldn’t play?
Two months can last a lifetime. But maybe it’s still never enough.
