Description
From a seductive storyteller who dares to plumb the dark, passionate depths of the heart and soul comes an absorbing new erotic thriller that is also a gripping tale of psychological suspense. Grief-stricken Justine Pagett fled to Paris after her mother's death, but scandal forces her back to the States to redeem her tarnished reputation as a journalist. Commissioned to write a piece on the eccentric composer Sophie DeLyon, Justine finds herself part of a mysterious deception. At Euphonia, the exclusive institution De Lyon created to nurture America's most gifted music prodigies, a malevolent presence is composing a deadly work. Threatening cybermessages meant to intimidate convince a determined Justine that fascinating secrets await her. But when Sophie suddenly disappears, Justine's assignment to mine the story behind the legend becomes an even greater challenge. The disharmonious De Lyon family seems more interested in Sophie's estate than in her artistic legacy, and a group of devoted fans is fiercely defending the name of the enigmatic genius.
As Justine is forced to wrestle with her own demons, she is also all too aware of the presence of her past lover on the estate, a man who was also once married to Sophie's daughter. An expertly crafted opus of obsessive passions and poisonous shame, of brilliant achievements and brutal deception.
