A French Girl in New York (The French Girl #1)
Paperback - 311 pages
French-Nigerian Maude Laurent is an orphan. Raised in a small town in northern France, by an uncaring foster family, she’s always wondered about her parents—who they were and why they left her all alone. She dreams of escaping her small town and becoming an opera star and singing on the great stages of Paris.
Maude’s Cinderella moment arrives when she’s live streamed singing in a café during a school trip to Paris. Suddenly she’s an internet sensation and music studios are pursuing her with promises of stardom. The only problem? They all want her to sing pop, but Maude hates pop.
However, when Terence Baldwin and his daughter approach her, they promise to help her find her own unique voice. Maude accepts the challenge: Six months in New York to write and record three singles that become hits. If she succeeds, she can stay in New York and record an album. If she doesn’t, she’ll return to Carvin.
Maude knows she has the drive and talent to succeed, and she also knows that her father used to live in New York. Perhaps, just perhaps, she can have it all: a successful music career and a chance to learn more about her family. There’s only one problem—her collaborator Matt Durand. He’s annoying and arrogant, a popstar on a break, and he’s determined to force Maude out of her comfort zone.
Maude and Matt will have to put their bickering aside, if they’re ever going to find the perfect harmony.
