Passion's Song by Farrah Rochon

A steamy friends-to-lovers romance from USA Today bestselling author Farrah Rochon

April Knight left hardship behind to become a celebrated cellist, but success has never made her forget where she came from. Back in New Orleans’s Ninth Ward, she’s ready to pour her heart into the community that shaped her—and into the next generation.

Damien Alexander has always been the boy who believed in her before anyone else. Now he’s all grown up, determined to rebuild their neighborhood, and asking April to stand by his side to help make his vision real. It should be simple: old friends, a shared dream, and a chance to give back.

Instead, every meeting sparks old feelings and new temptation. Because the more time April and Damien spend rebuilding their community, the harder it is to ignore the chemistry neither of them saw coming—or the second chance at love they may have wanted all along. But when the past threatens everything they’re building, can two lifelong friends turn their second chance into a forever kind of love?
