The Magic of Music

"Music belongs to the past," he said, but his trembling hands betrayed a different truth.

Vienna, 1936. When Thomas Weber arrives at the grand Hoffmann estate with nothing but his guitar and teaching credentials, he expects to find a position as a strict governor to six unruly children. Instead, he discovers a household haunted by silence, where music has been forbidden since the death of their beloved mother.

Their father, the elegant yet stern Viktor Hoffmann, hired a male teacher believing it would bring discipline to his household. But he never expected Thomas's gentle soul, or how the young man's presence would stir emotions he thought long buried. As Thomas works to help each child heal-from sixteen-year-old Alexander's rigid denial to little Hans's unconscious humming-he finds himself drawn to the complex man behind the stern facade.

In a house where even the simplest melody can bring tears, Thomas must tread carefully. With rising political tensions in Austria as a backdrop, he discovers that sometimes the bravest thing we can do is learn to sing again... and the truest love stories begin with a simple song.

A historical romance about family, healing, and the magic that happens when two hearts learn to make music together. ✨
