The Singer’s Dilemma (The Hummingbird Chronicles Book 1)
Table of Contents
He’s hiding from his past. She’s chasing her dreams. Can their love overcome the secrets between them?
After a tragic accident shattered his music career, Derek Walker—once the chart-topping R&B sensation JD Walker—retreated to his hometown of Idlewood to rebuild his life in humility. Now a worship leader and an employee at his family’s furniture business, he’s convinced himself that his former life belongs to the past.
Nadia Barrett has only ever dreamed of singing gospel. The chance to compete for a coveted recording contract brings her to Idlewood, where her talent—and fiery determination—light up every stage she graces. She finds an unexpected ally in Derek, the soulful man with a gift for music as deep as hers.
Their connection is undeniable, but Nadia’s temporary stay and Derek’s hidden identity threaten to keep them apart. And when Nadia discovers the truth—that the man she’s falling for is the same JD Walker she dislikes—both their worlds come crashing down.
Now on separate paths, they must face the music in more ways than one. As Derek reconciles the man he was with the man he’s become, and Nadia learns the price of living in the spotlight, they discover that the songs closest to the heart are the hardest to sing.
Will their love be a duet worth fighting for, or will secrets silence their chance at a future?
The Singer’s Dilemma is a Christian contemporary novella with strong faith themes.
