"You get pussy by the truckload, huh?”
“I do all right.”
“Cromwell doesn’t speak much with his voice, but he screams what he feels with melodies and notes and the change of keys.”
"Her voice was violet blue. I closed my eyes. It was my favorite color to hear."
“The best music must be felt.”
“Since you . . . it’s felt different. Music. It’s you, Farraday. You’ve made it different… I’m inspired.” She sucked in a breath. “You inspire me.”
“You gave me back music. It was you, Farraday. You gave me back what I’d lost. It was you who brought the music back to my heart. You helped my music rediscover its soul.”

"Cromwell Dean reached my soul with his voice."
"There's not a part that I regret."Cromwell Dean is a gifted composer, musician, and DJ. After years of escaping the demons of his past, Cromwell is thrust into the dark and light colors of music once again. When he is partnered up with Bonnie Farraday, a flourishing composer and performer, Cromwell's entire world is rocked. As Bonnie and Cromwell work together to create a perfect composition, both are forced to explore the brokenness that exists in their lives. The physical and emotional trials are insurmountable as both struggle to survive. Through their journey, they find healing and a chance to "chase the music from dawn until dust" forever.
"It was perfect. He was perfect. Like this, life was perfect."Told in dual POV, A Wish for Us is a heartbreaking story full of complex characters and a rich plot. When secrets from their past (and present) are revealed, the pain experienced is raw and cuts like a knife. The dynamics between the characters plays out like a rich symphony. The text is lyrical and set at a driving tempo as each moment unfolds. Cromwell is a very damaged hero and when he is paired with Bonnie, together they make perfect harmony.
Even with the rudeness and the arrogance that I saw from him most days. I now knew there was a pain behind his blue eyes, tattoos, and dark hair.
“She made me listen to the music inside me again. She made me play. She inspired me . . . She made me me again.”
I should have walked away when I still had the chance.
