Stage Fright Kate Lloyd

Jessica Nash loves to sing but is paralyzed every time she gets on stage. After blowing an excruciating audition, she wonders if she should give up on her dream. She's already committed to a week-long choral tour of England with her church choir, though, and as a single mom with a limited income, this might be her only chance to travel. The trip gets off to a rocky start when Jessica has to sit next to Martin, a once-famous British tenor whose career plummeted in a scandal, on the flight to London. Is it her imagination, or does he seem to aim his bitterness toward womankind specifically at her? And to make things worse, once they arrive Jessica discovers she has to room with the choir's thorny lead soprano. When Nick, their handsome tour guide, takes a special interest in showing Jessica the sights, things finally seem to be falling into place. She starts to relax and let herself be wooed against the backdrop of the charming English countryside. But is she ready to give him as much as he's asking for?Things aren't as simple as they seem. Almost every person on the tour, it seems, is hiding a secret, and before her English holiday is over Jessica will find herself stretched and tested in every direction-including the soloist's place center stage."Stage Fright is a captivating novel sure to win the hearts of readers." - New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hauck
