Plot Summary of Waiting for Nick
"Nicholas LeBeck is the apple of Frederica Kimball's eye. Too bad he still thinks of her as a kid sister. So, what's a girl to do? When you'reFreddie Kimball, you plan. With the support of the Stanislaski family, Freddie sets out to become Nick's lyricist. That's the easy part. To convince Nick that they would make great partners in other areas, is a whole different story. Aside from being dense when it comes to matters of the heart, Nick has issues concerning his wild past. Is Freddie up to the challenge of making an obstinate man realize his true feelings and helping him to heal old wounds? Guess you'll have to read the book."
Rae , Resident Scholar
