The Sweetest Sound by Lilian DarcyOrthopedic surgeon Dr Charlie Barnett barely has time to buy new socks, let alone time to fall in love.Spanish street musician Ramona Garrido-Lopez isn’t looking for love, either. With her parents depending on her, their only child, all she really wants is to make them happy.Despite the sparks that fly between them, she and Charlie couldn’t possibly be serious about each other, when they’re committed to lives on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean could they?As Charlie goes through his final year of orthopedic surgical residency at the hospital, he finds pleasure in the busker's music outside the hospital. He finds her attractive, mesmerized by her music, and approaches her for conversation rather than just dropping money into her hat. It takes a few attempts, but finally he's able to persuade Ramona to out with him.Ramona's a musician, actress, waitress, realizing she may not "make it" in New York and is resigned to go back home to Spain to help salvage the family winery she's been sending all she can home to help her parents. She has the plane ticket, it's just a matter of time. She doesn't need the complication of Charlie, but yet she's attracted.They get into a routine, however both seemed to never make the full commitment to the relationship until it's almost too late. After all, they both knew it might not be forever their lives messy with the stress of the residency for Charlie and Ramona's loss of heart for her dreams of a career in NYC. But as much as they both fight it, the chemistry together is beyond the physical, and there is love--but how far can they go before admitting it, and will admitting it be enough to keep them together.Is there anyway that she can have her new dream and her dream man at the same time?
