Waiting For Nick

A determined songwriter. A guarded composer. A secret love unleashed. ‘The most successful novelist on Planet Earth.’ Washington Post ‘A storyteller of immeasurable diversity and talent**.**’ Publisher’s Weekly The fifth book in the Stanislaski family saga by New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts! Read as standalone or as a series ?? Frederica Kimball arrives in New York with two goals: launch her career as a Broadway lyricist and make Nicholas LeBeck fall in love with her. Preferably in that order. Feddie has loved Nick since she was thirteen, when her aunt dragged a brooding nineteen-year-old bad boy from the courtroom to join the Stanislaski family. Nick has spent every day since trying to be worthy of that kindness. A former gang member turned gifted composer, he has built something real from the wreckage of his past: music that moves people to tears, a place in the family that saved him and a life he is determined to protect. But now Freddie is twenty-four. And she is done being patient. Armed with a music portfolio and a mayoral connection, Freddie talks Nick into a creative partnership for a new Broadway show. But as late nights at the piano blur the line between professional and personal, Nick starts to see the brilliant, determined woman Freddie has become. And soon, what he feels for her is anything but brotherly. Nick knows exactly what he is — six years older, still trying to outrun his shadows and worlds apart in experience. Walking away feels like the most honourable thing he can do. The only thing that makes sense. Freddie disagrees. She didn't move to New York, fight for a place at his piano and fall deeper in love with every song they wrote together, just to let Nick decide what she deserves. After ten years of waiting, convincing this composer that he is worthy of being truly loved may be the hardest lyric she has ever had to write.
