Echoes in the Key of Blue

A contemporary romance about love that echoes across time. When Maya Chen sits alone in a Manhattan coffee shop processing her estranged father's death, she encounters a stranger whose sadness mirrors her own. That chance meeting becomes the beginning of everything. David Winters understands presence in ways most people never learn. A father navigating complicated custody, he shows up completely for those he loves—even when it costs him. When Maya enters his world, she discovers what it means to be truly seen by another person. But their connection comes with complications: a custody battle, a newly inherited house filled with secrets, and letters from her father that force Maya to reconsider everything she thought she understood about love and abandonment. As Maya curates a concert series exploring memory and loss, she uncovers a melody her father transcribed decades ago—a melody from her childhood that becomes the unexpected bridge between past pain and future possibility. In the space between what we've lost and what we're brave enough to build, some melodies find their way home. A sweeping romance about showing up, second chances, and the ways love echoes forward through time.
