The Violinist

By Rae Anderson

"C minor carried melancholy as if she were the reaper herself. Her dark resonance lingered in the air like a shadow stretching at dusk. The notes pressed against the strings with hushed intensity. The low, brooding C string hummed with sorrow, while the higher tones carried a whisper of something unresolved-grief, longing, or maybe even the echo of a distant storm. When played softly, she felt like a secret confession. When drawn out with force, she wailed with a raw, aching beauty.

The violin was a woman. No one could tell me otherwise."

Piper Herm s, the youngest of the Herm s siblings, has spent her life carrying the weight of loss and longing. Now, on a journey to reclaim herself, she collides with a man who sees her with a clarity she's never known-a dangerous clarity. But in a world where darkness moves in shadows she barely understands, he is public enemy number one.
Told through a tapestry of lush prose and intimate poetry, Piper must navigate a labyrinth of love, betrayal, and loyalty - where every step closer to her heart's desire risks leading her further from everything she thought she could trust.
In the second installment of the Herm s Family series, the line between salvation and ruin is as fine-and as breakable-as a violin's string.
