The melody enchants Peter during his daily visit to his wife’s grave. The homeless woman, who finds refuge in the cemetery, is equally drawn to the haunting music.Like a violin concerto, the story unfolds in three movements, unexpectedly intertwining the fates of these characters.Praise for Buffy Andrews'5 Huge-Tear-Stained-Stars!' - Smut & Spitfire on The Moment Keeper'Be warned this is a tale about choices, bereavement and relationships in this book which may cause a few tears to fall…' - Cleopatra Loves Books on The Moment Keeper'Once again this author manages to provide me, on finishing this story, with a WOW moment!

Can there ever be an encore to true love?

It used to be that the only woman he could think about was Camilla. When he closed his eyes it was her that he saw. But now, he saw Willow. And it scared him and made him feel guilty. And yet he couldn’t help himself, couldn’t help feeling what he was feeling…

The last thing grief-stricken widower Peter St John expects to find at the cemetery is love. But one evening, as he lays flowers on Camilla’s grave, he is drawn to the haunting melody of a solitary violin player.

And so he encounters beautiful concert violinist Willow Channing, who has her own grief to contend with.

A second, chance meeting fuels the fire. And soon Peter knows that as one song ended, another might begin.
