From USA Today Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa comes a heart-wrenching, beautifully layered romance about love, loss, and the unexpected paths that bring us together. With a surprise guardianship, a brooding musician, and a slow-burn connection that will make your heart ache and soar. 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.
