Yvette Berg is a gorgeous twenty-three-year-old who holds a degree in viola performance and a minor in music history from the Conservatoire in Paris. As talented as she is, she is is now ready to leave Paris—and her painful past—behind.

After Yvette secures a job in Boston stimulating visual artists with great music, she attempts to move past her former relationship with a married man that not only produced heartache, but also a child she reluctantly gave up for adoption. As she immerses herself in her new life, Yvette’s taste in art, food, wine, and music is at a superior level, as well as her ability to enchant men. Among them is Kolya, a Russian cellist, and an older mentor who praises her intellectual finesse and provides much-needed guidance and encouragement. But as she works diligently to keep her secret hidden, Yvette has no idea that her past is about to catch up with her in shocking ways.

In this tale of passion, music, and art, a talented young musician leaves Paris for Boston in search of her identity that is intertwined with a secret from her past.
