Immortal Beloved meets Fifty Shades of Grey, Sophie's Choice, The Godfather, and The Reincarnation of Peter Proud in this spell-binding love story that involves classical music, kinky sex, the Holocaust, the Mafia, the psychic/occult, and unexpected developments. Volume One presents a fascinating blend of Beethoven, sadomasochism, and the supernatural.
John (aka Giovanni), a classical pianist, and Elena, a violinist, bond as they prepare to Beethoven's immortal "Kreutzer" Sonata. Within a few months, they are living together and teaching in a Catholic school. Everything looks wonderful, until suddenly it doesn't. The lovers are struck by an emotional earthquake that appears to separate them forever...or does it?
This is the first volume of the restored trilogy. The now-defunct White Bird Publications released Volumes One and Two of a series entitled The Passion of Elena Bianchi in 2022. Unfortunately, the late publisher divided the series into four novels. In doing so, she overlooked the contemporary trend: that romances end "happily ever after" or "happily ever after for now."
The renamed series, A Musical Romance, is -- obviously -- a romance. However, plot twists and other surprises abound for both the hero and the heroine. Volume One is Giovanni's story, but Elena and others will take turns presenting the narrative by Volume Two.
