In honor of the release of Stephanie Lawton's book today, Inkspell has authorized me to post an exclusive quote from the book:
"The keys and fingerings are the same ones I play; the dynamics are similar, but the song itself, its coloring is different in every way—every nuance, every pause, every touch. He leans back on the seat, fingers upright and stiff, wrists lifted; then he leans in, presses deeper into the keys, rocks the piano’s frame with the pedal."
One-line pitch:
Forbidden fruit can be the sweetest—or the most dangerous.
Blurb:
Julianne counts the days until she can pack her bags and leave
her old-money, tradition-bound Southern town where appearance is everything and
secrecy is a way of life. A piano virtuoso, she dreams of attending a
prestigious music school in Boston. Failure is not an option, so she enlists
the help of New England Conservatory graduate Isaac Laroche to help her.
She can’t understand why he suddenly gave up Boston’s music
scene to return to the South. He doesn’t know her life depends on escaping it.
Julianne must face down madness from without, just as it threatens from within.
Isaac must resist an inappropriate attraction, but an indiscretion at a Mardi
Gras ball—the pinnacle event for Mobile’s elite—forces their present wants and
needs to collide with sins of the past.
Will Julianne accept the help she’s offered and get everything
she ever wanted, or will she self-destruct and take Isaac down with her?
Early Praise:
