A Perfect Song: Books 1-2
(2025)(A book in the Perfect Song series)
An omnibus of novels by L M Halloran
FIRST VERSE
Growing up, Wilder Ashburn was the hero I worshipped.
I was the pigtailed pest who never left him alone.
Everything changed the day I gave him a poem.
For the first time, he saw me...
And then he reached for his guitar.
From that moment on, we were entangled.
Bound by music and a shared dream.
Along the way we made vows:
To always stay the same.
To never let anything come between us.
And above all, to never, ever fall in love.
But it turns out our promises were poison,
Corrupted long before spoken.
And for us, there is no antidote.
Falling in love was as inevitable as stardom,
And it would destroy us both.
LAST CHORUS
For over six years, I’ve respected Evangeline’s wishes,
Kept my last promise to her and stayed far away.
I’ve learned to live without my missing piece,
Grown used to the ache of my broken heart,
All while I’ve worked to become the man she always deserved...
Even if I never have a chance to show her.
But my distance was dependent on her happiness,
On evidence that not only did she not want me,
She didn’t need me.
Now her star is fading right before my eyes
And that conviction is smoke.
I’m done playing dead.
I’m still the only one she can’t hide from.
The only one who can read her music.
All I have to do is help her remember...
We’re a perfect song, matched note for note.
This deluxe paperback omnibus includes the complete duet, special edition interior formatting, and bonus material.
