Felicity Montgomery has grown up in a show biz family.

Her father has a gambling problem, unbeknown to Felicity.  He has embezzled all her childhood earnings, and has groomed her to be the next Madonna – to help pay for his addiction.  But Felicity has had enough – that’s not where she wants her career to go.

She wants to be the next Billie Holiday. Or Patsy Cline. She wants to sing the blues.

The way things are going right now, she can’t see that happening, but little does she know her entire life is about to change. Completely.

Derek St James is a talent manager.

He has a secret. A devastating secret that has affected him greatly – both personally and professionally. But that’s in his past. And he wants it to stay that way.

Right now he’s on the look out for the next best thing, and now he’s found Felicity.

But not in the best of circumstances, and not in the nicest of venues. The ‘aroma’ almost causes him to gag, and the behaviour of the ‘waitresses’ is even worse.

Despite all that, he wants to meet with Felicity and make her an offer she can’t refuse.
