“Thank You for Listening”
By Julia Whelan
Sewanee Chester is an audiobook narrator who started out in romance. After winning awards and gaining popularity, she has sworn off the genre simply because she no longer believes in the “happily-ever-after.” Now she is content to narrate Women’s Fiction from her sound booth at home where she can hide. But when her best friend invites her to stay with her in Las Vegas for the book convention, Sewanee accepts. What was to be a low-key work thing turns into one of the most interesting nights of her life when she meets a charming stranger named Nick.
Settled with the knowledge that she will never see Nick again, Sewanee must juggle handling the care of her feisty, ailing grandmother and an offer to narrate a much-anticipated Romance series by the author who made her famous. Even though she has left Romance, the money is just what she needs to pay for her grandmother’s medical bills. The only thing is, it’s a dual narration with the leading male voice in audiobooks – Brock McKnight. His real identity is the thing every woman wants to find out – except Sewanee. But there is just something about him that draws her in with every text.
