The Crescendo of Love: A New York Lesbian Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798302007520)

Heather Watts plays occasional gigs at dive bars in New York City, her dreams of musical success still elusive. She keeps her emotions hidden behind self-deprecating humor, cynicism, and a tough exterior. Paying the bills with a day job at a diner, she's convinced herself that her big break in the music industry will never happen.

Carrie Sutton is a driven event planner, known for her meticulous attention to detail and ambitious nature. She's polished and professional, working tirelessly to climb the corporate ladder. But her rigid approach to life masks deeper struggles, including a strained relationship with her conservative parents.

A citywide music festival draws them together, but they have to overcome their difficult past in a small-town high school. Back then, Carrie played along with her friends' jeers and taunts, so she could fit in with the cool crowd. Can these two women put their differences behind them and build a future together?
