What is YOUR passion?
When
an uncharacteristically rash decision lands law school graduate Melody Grayson
in San Francisco’s dicey Tenderloin District, she comes face to face with a
dangerously tempting man who embodies every mistake she swore she would never
repeat. Passionate, sexy, and far more insightful than she’d care to admit, he
causes her to question everything she thought she knew about her future. Now
she’ll have to decide where the bigger risk lies: in the prudent path she has
been working tirelessly to pursue, or in the intriguing but uncertain one he’s
offering.
Up-and-coming,
Irish-born musician Jamie Callahan is no stranger to chaos; he’s lived a
lifetime of it. But in the fall of 2004, when the music industry is on the
verge of massive upheaval, the life he aspires to could come at a heavier price
than he’s prepared to pay. And while Melody may be the ideal person to help him
navigate the gambles he must take, a relationship with her might be his biggest
gamble yet.
SOUND
EFFECTS is a standalone dual POV adult contemporary romance that captures the

bumps. Sexy, humor-filled, and relatable, Sound Effects is a story about living
passionately, staying true to yourself, and finding that one magic person who
makes the journey of self-discovery an adventure worth taking.

“Tell me
your passion.”
My passion?
Now, there was a question. One I did not have an answer for. In truth, nothing
made me feel more vulnerable than that question.
He waited
expectantly, not realizing that in the course of one conversation, he had
unknowingly twice touched a tender
spot. Of course, to someone like him, it would be unfathomable to live your
life without a passion. He probably had many of them. But the fact was, I
didn’t think I did.
I liked lots
of things. As a child, I did all kinds of activities–gymnastics, piano, soccer,
debate, track and field, and on and on. I was sort of a jack-of-all-trades and
a master of none. Reasonably good at lots of things, but missing that one thing
that I lived for. It had always made me wonder if I had failed to apply myself
on some level. Or maybe I was just truly average as a human being. Unlike
Jamie, I couldn’t think of anything I was really driven by. Not like he was.
Not like having something in my life that I lived for. Maybe save one thing…
“My family,
I guess.”
I wondered
how utterly ludicrous that must sound to him. He had unwittingly just met the
most astoundingly vanilla person on the planet.
And it
didn’t help me any that he didn’t make a sound for an unnervingly long stretch
of time. He seemed to be studying something in me. I couldn’t put my finger on
it. And then he surprised me by reaching up to touch my face, almost
reverently. His fingertips were cold against my skin, and his touch was soft.
“Family
is a noble passion,” he said. “Beautiful and noble.”

Greene is a self-professed
obsessive multi-tasker who writes really boring stuff by day and lets her inner
romantic fly by night. This California native is married to the most amazing
man and has two beautiful children, not old enough to read her books. (They
probably wouldn’t want to anyway on account of the “Ew, gross” factor.) She’s
an avid reader of all genres, with an embarrassingly large eBook collection and
a weird penchant for reading the acknowledgements pages of the books she buys.
She's also a music lover with no apparent musical talent, a travel enthusiast,
and a cheese connoisseur.
