About this ebook

A heart-wrenching wartime romance about second chances, courage, and choosing love despite fear…

Five years after losing his beloved wife, renowned composer Victor Grayson lives as a recluse in his hillside cottage, his music silenced by grief. When determined nurse Clara Hensley arrives at his door requesting he play for departing soldiers, he reluctantly agrees to “one night.”

Clara's unwavering spirit awakens something Victor thought long dead—the courage to feel again. As their connection deepens through shared music and quiet moments, Victor discovers his heart hasn't finished its song. But just as their fragile romance blossoms, Clara receives orders to a dangerous field hospital near Dover.

When bombs fall and Clara's letters suddenly stop, Victor must confront his greatest fear: losing someone he loves all over again. Will he retreat back into isolation, or finally learn that love is worth the risk?

Set against the backdrop of WWII England, “A Serenade for Solitude” will break your heart and stitch it back together. This poignant romance celebrates the healing power of music and the courage it takes to choose love in a world where nothing is certain.

A Serenade for Solitude is a exactly what the blurb promises. I went through several tissues while reading this beautiful romance. Clara, a nurse, drags Victor, a reluctant, reclusive, grieving, widowed composer, from his home to play for the departing soldiers. There is nothing I can add to Ms. Ayala's description. What I can say is that you do not want to miss this deeply, moving, well written book. It is awesome.
