She wasn't looking for a miracle. Just a moment.
Evelyn "Eve" Hart has built a quiet life from the pieces of a fractured childhood, one word at a time. As a reporter for the Las Vegas Times, she spends her days telling other people's stories, never daring to imagine she'd be part of one worth telling.
Until she's sent to cover Elvis Presley's winter residency at the Las Vegas Hilton.
And until the King of Rock and Roll - grieving, exhausted, and freshly divorced - looks out into the crowd and finds her.
What begins as a glance in a sea of strangers becomes something unspoken. Something electric. Something neither of them expected.
She was just another face.
He was the last person she ever thought would see her.
But some strangers are meant to collide.
Stranger in the Crowd is a slow-burn, soul-stirring fan fiction set against the glitz and ache of 1974 Las Vegas...where fame hides heartbreak, music saves lives, and love can find you when you least expect it.
She always thought angels lived in Heaven - until the night he saw her.
