Counterpoint (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783911675031)

When gorgeous trumpet-playing security guard, Lisa, literally tumbles into her life, Rachel wonders if her quiet existence is about to change. Living at home with her religious mother doesn't make dating easy. And Rachel's job at the local community centre often sees her working evenings and weekends. No matter how lovely Lisa is, surely Rachel doesn't have room in her life for starting a new relationship.

Lisa, rebuilding her life after her move to London, loves two things: her job as a security guard and playing her beloved trumpet. When a chance to play in a local jazz band comes up, she jumps at it. That the band practices at the community centre where shy but beautiful Rachel works is a total bonus.

Their mutual attraction rapidly climbs, but Rachel's complicated home life means they need to take things slow. Lisa can be patient, though, and she's sure Rachel is worth the wait.

However, when Lisa stumbles across something that raises huge questions about Rachel's past, it leads to revelations no one saw coming. With consequences not only for Rachel and Lisa's relationship, but Rachel's entire life.

As a new future presents itself to Rachel, is she brave enough to face it head on? And will she want Lisa by her side as she does so?
