BOOK DESCRIPTION
The Prelude-Olivia St. Claire wanted to be good at something.
What better way than to start studying piano again? And what better teacher than
former concert pianist Liam Wallace? She found him attractive, beyond
attractive, but her heart was safe. He was married and he showed no interest in
her. If he wouldn’t love her, she would make sure he loved the way she
played.
The Fugue-But her heart couldn’t be controlled. She now had the
opportunity to perform with him. And that’s when everything fell apart. When she
heard the music, she couldn’t control what she might say or do. She wanted to be
good at something. And when that happened, she lost more than her heart. She
lost a chance to capture something that meant more to her than anything she’d
ever dreamed.
