Smooth Return To Love

Twelve years ago, jazz singer Melody James walked away from the stage-and the man who loved her-to marry Victor Ashford. Now divorced and broken, she returns to Blue Note, the Chicago jazz club where she lost herself and where pianist Marcus Cole has been waiting ever since. As Marcus helps Melody rebuild her voice and her confidence, old feelings reignite into a love neither expected. But Victor refuses to let go, and Melody must find the courage to reclaim her voice-both on stage and in her heart.
From intimate jazz clubs to sold-out concerts, this sweeping romance spans forty years of music, healing, and the power of second chances. A story about finding your voice, trusting love again, and the smooth return to where you've always belonged.
