Description
As the daughter of a lighting technician and a costumer, Madalina ("Madi") Pavel grew up in the shadows of the famed Metropolitan Opera House in New York. To fulfill her twelfth birthday wish, her parents dressed her in a beautiful gown and positioned her beneath the spotlight at center stage. Young Madi poured her all into an aria, blissfully unaware the opera's general manager listened from a seat in the darkened theater. Now 26, after extensive training and traveling the world, Madalina is the coloratura soprano understudy for the Met Opera who seeks the breakout role of a lifetime.
Julian Rhodes is the owner/manager of Harmonia, a popular Manhattan breakfast bistro frequented by the Met staff and performers. While Julian depends on their patronage, he secretly finds the opera tediously boring. He devotes all his energies into making his restaurant a success, but when he meets the beautiful coloratura soprano, Julian begins to rethink his priorities.
Can a romantic relationship survive between a workaholic business owner and a promising opera singer? When Madalina is offered a fabulous career opportunity, their love is put to the test. Are Julian and his beautiful coloratura soprano meant to be, or are they destined to part ways?
Come backstage for a firsthand look into the fascinating world of the opera where stories are beautifully and passionately told through drama and song. Only A Breath Away examines how faith in Christ, close family ties, and the strong bonds of friendship can help a young couple juggle the hectic demands of their individual careers while navigating the sometimes murky waters of romance. And how through the unpredictable twists and turns of life, God can make the seemingly impossible... very possible indeed.
Only A Breath Away is the second release from author Julianna Desmond, the pen name for JoAnn Durgin, a USA Today Bestselling Author of more than 27 published novels. An author who highly values her readers, JoAnn was recently named as one of "35 Essential Christian Romance Authors" in a FamilyFiction reader poll, an honor she treasures.
