Amber's Song

A Hearts of Hope Novel - Book Four

By: Jefferson Cross

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She helps children find their voices.
He hears the truth she is trying not to say.
Amber Bennett has built her life around music, children, and control. As a music therapist at Children's Hospital Colorado, she knows how to draw reluctant children out of silence and turn a chaotic room into something that almost sounds like hope.
Amber also knows her hearing is changing.
She just hasn't told anyone how much that frightens her.
When attorney Marcus Webb steps into her therapy room as part of a custody review involving one of her most fragile patients, he is supposed to observe, document, and protect the child's best interests. He is not supposed to notice the therapist this closely.
But Marcus sees what almost everyone else misses: the boy who waits to be heard, the woman who gives him room to speak, and the small moments when Amber's carefully ordered life begins to slip out of tune.
He remembers how she takes her coffee. He turns toward her before speaking. He waits out crowded rooms.
And little by little, his quiet attention reaches the places Amber has worked hardest to protect.
As the hospital's holiday showcase approaches, the pressure around Amber grows louder. Misheard cues. Missed words. Professional stakes. Private fear. The more Marcus wants to help, the more he risks becoming exactly what Amber does not need: another person trying to manage what only she can choose to face.
And Amber must decide whether being seen is a gift—or a risk she cannot afford.
Amber's Song is a clean, emotionally rich contemporary medical romance about hidden vulnerability, slow-built trust, and the courage it takes to let love hear the truth.
