Lure of Song and Magic

"Rice writes stories with so much attention to detail the characters truly seem to come to life... [an] enchanting concoction of magic, suspense, and an unlikely love. STARRED REVIEW" - Booklist

High-powered producer Dylan “Oz” Oswin is desperate to find his kidnapped son. In fact, he’s willing to believe anything, including a mysterious e-mail that causes him to track down a former child singing sensation who vanished years ago.

Now a reclusive children’s book author, Pippa Malcolm James—formerly known as Syrene—has been hiding her identity for years, vowing never to unleash her lethal siren’s voice again. When Oz shows up on her doorstep, he endangers her privacy and her world— but how can she resist his heartfelt plea to find his child?

Oz is in a position to throw Pippa to the lions if she refuses to break her ridiculous vow. He is the proverbial immovable object, but Pippa’s charm—and voice—is irresistible. Can he believe her beautiful song will kill—when he’s convinced her voice is the key to his son’s rescue? Working together, they may just have a chance to find the love they don’t believe they deserve.
