Coming from a childhood of abuse, Julia James has spent most of her life hiding in plain sight. Even now that she is the top cellist at the McInnes Conservatory and a contender in the Kreisler International Music Competition, she hides, hoping no one will notice her. Until one day, a chance encounter brings her to the attention of the very attractive, incredibly talented horn player, Jeremy. He is the man she has always dreamed of. Now as he helps her to embrace her talent, her sexuality and her past, Julia thinks she might finally be headed toward her ‘happily-ever-after.'
French horn player Jeremy Corrigan isn’t just handsome, he’s distractingly sexy and charming. He’s also a sociopath. Now, in the Kreisler International Music Competition, he sees the opportunity of a lifetime, a sure-fire path to fame, success and money. Jeremy wants the gold. And Jeremy always gets what he wants no matter what - or who- is standing in his way.
Sheldon Peterson fell in love with Julia the first time he met her at the children’s home. Since then he has spent his life nurturing and protecting her. Now he can only watch helplessly as she falls under the emotional and sexual thrall of a sociopath. To Sheldon, it is all too clear that Julia is standing squarely in Jeremy’s path to the gold medal at the Kreisler Competition…and that is a very dangerous place for her to be.
