Paris brings a dramatic encounter with Nicolas Frost, the remote, driven young conductor who is creating a reputation for musical brilliance. When the smitten Carolyn discovers the conductor’s masquerade—necessary to achieve recognition in the male—dominated higher echelons of classical music—she is suddenly faced with the true nature of her powerful attraction to Nick.
Meanwhile, Alison has found her own consolation. But does sweet, passionate Samantha have any chance of winning Alison’s affections away from Carolyn? Can there be any future for Nick and Carolyn?
Find the answers in this captivating, deliciously romantic and erotic tale from one of our most entertaining storytellers.
