Vocal Love — Melinda VanLone

She thought work was the answer, but the lesson he learned was love. Piper Bellamy and her sisters became international sensations when she was in her teens, and living the dream was everything she thought it would be...until it wasn't. When her youngest sister broke up their group to go solo it hit Piper like a sucker punch, one that took five long years to heal. But now Piper has a new dream her sister can't take away. She's been cast as the lead in an animated feature film and when the project's done it will prove that she can shine out from under her sister's shadow. The problem is her smirky new leading man Blake Ryan. He's treating her debut like it's an irritating speed bump, and she's not about to let him ruin her chances of success.    Blake Ryan is an Oscar winner and a certified Hollywood heartthrob, but he's tired of being in front of the camera. A major studio is finally willing to back his directorial debut, but there's a catch. If Blake wants a green light for his new project, first he has to play the lead in their animated musical movie. The problem is his co-star Piper Bellamy is such a perfectionist about the music that she refuses to give her stamp of approval on any of the songs. Now his throat is raw, his patience is running thin, and his passion project is on very shaky ground.As Piper and Blake spend more time together their dislike-at-first-sight turns into another kind of tension, but not everyone is thrilled to see their relationship develop. Can Blake convince Piper that their love is destined for more than the cutting room floor?
