Everyone has a dream. For Shasta Kovich, it's a career in music- not to be confused with what she had growing up, the daughter of an alcoholic lounge singer. No, she wants more than a life marked by financial strain and cheap motels.Blessed with a set of pipes and self-taught on guitar, Shasta's band, the Velvet Bitches, is on the fast track to fame and fortune when she blows her voice on their first major concert tour and everything comes to a grinding halt. After vocal cord surgery, she's sent to Blake Adams for voice training. It's either that or forfeit her recording contract.It's no surprise they'd clash. They're polar opposites. Blake Adams is an elitist, a snob. The product of the best musical education money can buy. She doesn't know whether to hate him or hear him out. Not given a choice, they start working together and she's making progress when he strays upon a secret she's hidden from everyone, including her bandmates. Suddenly, the man tasked with saving her career now knows something that could potentially end her musical aspirations for good. Can she trust him?
