Sam is the good girl. She is destined to be a doctor, mostly because her parents tell her she has to be. She has only one friend, Alex, who is just as focused on school as Sam is. They don't socialize much, parties are frowned upon. Why party when you can study? She has straight A's, only because she has no life. She has never had a boyfriend- and she never even thought about liking someone. What's the point? When a new boy moves into town, the bad kind, he finds her. He wants her, the lustful kind that is purposeful for a one night stand. When he meets her though, she refuses to do what he wants, and this intrigues him. When they are thrown together for a school project, will they end up hating each other for their different lives and resent each other, or somehow...fall in love?

|| Book 1 of The Shadow's Melody || As a maid here at the new Opéra Populaire I can certainly sense something different. Something missing. It lacked him. The Opera Ghost who disappeared. I know I should let it go. I know I shouldn't constantly think about a dead man. A murderer. But I simply can't. I can't forget about that man I fell in love with those many years ago. I yearned to hear his angelic voice again. I begged for it. Hoped for it. Prayed for it. I called for him in my dreams. The man they called The Phantom of the Opera. I would never have guessed that my hopes and prayers would soon be answered.
