Burning Muses is Book 1 of the Muse & Music Series. It can be read as a standalone. Don’t let fear sway you. You’re not your past. Seraphina Daniels feels like running—the kind of running that doesn’t include a set destination. So, when her childhood friend calls in distress, she’s more than prepared to leave behind her failed—and famous—relationship, her writer’s block, and her impending thirtieth birthday. But upon her return to the Ozarks—a sharp contrast to New York City—she discovers that everything’s changed. I think I wanted you before I even knew what it was like to want someone. The homecoming brings Sera to Chace Holloway: the man who’s made a home out of the place that was once hers. Romance isn’t an option, but friendship comes easily with the twenty-two-year-old songwriter—despite the attraction they both feel. He is music, and I am merely madness and melancholy. What started as an escape becomes more of a trap when the past begins to wrap around the present. As hope blooms, Sera and Chace face their biggest obstacles—what they each fear, and what old lovers desire.

"You're more than background music for someone else's life." It's the message that will change everything. The message Kat Roberts receives from a man she's never met. The message no one else is supposed to see but her. The message that leads to the greatest violence against her body she will ever know.

And Sonnet has rules of her own–to never again wait for a man to open his heart to her.
