My True North by Barbara Longley

A widower unable to let go of his grief, and a popstar with a troubled past …

Not long after Theresa Rhodes won Star Launch, a televised singing competition, the carefully constructed props of her life began to crumble, including her marriage. Theresa wants nothing more than to heal and to become stronger for herself and her children. She’s ready to quit singing. Caleb, her band’s director, suggests they collaborate on a new song for Star Launch’s anniversary show. She agrees for the sake of the band, but she’s in no way ready to face her growing attraction to Caleb.
Wracked with guilt and grief over the car accident that took his wife and daughter, Caleb McGee has sworn never to risk his heart again. When Theresa tells him she’s thinking about quitting, he makes it his mission to support the talented singer through the difficulties she’s facing. As they work together, his burgeoning feelings for her cannot be denied. Yet, even after a shared night of passion, he’s determined to keep his feelings—and his heart—to himself.

Just as their fragile bond deepens beyond the bounds of friendship, Theresa and Caleb are forced to confront their painful pasts, or forever lose their chance at happiness together.
