Plot Summary of Once More With Feeling
"Raven Williams had fame, fortune and a wonderful voice; to many she appeared to have it all, but did she? Adored by many, her musical career was at a high; the passion in her music touched her fans, but this almost thirty year old virgin had never experienced true physical passion, rarely touched by a man…until an old flame reenters her life!

Brandon Carstairs had stolen her heart when she was younger, more naïve. He had left her painfully, without an explanation, and now five years later he entered her life again just as unexpectedly. He came to her with a business proposition, Brandon, also a successful musician, wanted her to be his partner in creating the score for a musical – a chance of a lifetime for her career, but was she emotionally strong enough to work side by side with this irrational, explosive man that still sent shudders through her body?

Raven had driven him crazy with lust before, and when she couldn't fulfill his needs he'd left her and never looked back. But in the five years that they were apart he had never forgotten her scent, her touch and he longed for her.

Taking the risk of a lifetime she would accept his business offer and embark on a journey to make beautiful music that would make more than her lips sing! Together they discover that things can be sweeter the second time around and that some things are well worth waiting for.

Nelly Morgado, Resident Scholar
