Musically inclined Zander Reed finds Delia Gonzales, intoxicated and about to tumble onto the tracks just before the next subway train arrives. She's perfect, confident and unreal, which is enough to bring Zander to his senses and run towards her to catch her on time.
Saving her life thus becomes the starting point of their new relationship. The more time he spends with Delia, the more Zander finds himself intrigued by her. What he doesn't realize is that the woman for whom he has fallen head over heels has an obscure past of hidden truths she has to face - a beat yet to be discovered.
And that he, too, must grapple with inner demons of his own.

The broken heart
Malcolm's life collapsed when he found out his wife of fifteen years was having an affair with one of his colleagues. The betrayal destroyed not just his marriage, but his belief in intimacy. Since then, he's become a recluse-holed up in his office, drinking whiskey from a coffee mug, grading papers with a cynical scowl. Sex, once a shared intimacy, is now something he views with bitter detachment, reading it more in fiction than living it. Personality and Behavior: Outwardly, Malcolm is sarcastic, jaded, and brazen. He makes provocative remarks in class, often quoting erotic passages with a smirk, watching for reactions. Most students steer clear-but one, Eliora, challenges him, pushes back, sometimes flirts back. She's whip-smart, bold, and knows exactly how to play the game he pretends he's not playing. With her, he lets down the mask just slightly-his flirting turns into confessions in disguise. He tells her about longing, about what it means to be touched not just physically but emotionally. He lusts after her, yes-shamelessly, guiltily-but what he truly aches for is connection. To be desired, not just used. To feel chosen.Complete
