A Standalone Age-gap, Alpha Male, Professor/Student Romance!

Is the maestro looking for a fling . . . or auditioning for a mate?

Finalist for the HOLT Medallion!

Maestro Verner Dietrich does not request, he dictates. He does not ask, he takes. He is an utterly charming tyrant, a martinet, a mesmerist. No one dares to defy him.

Dare I?

In 1968, I am an innocent little ingenue from a backwater Texas town, just arrived at a small, conservative Christian college, when famous German conductor Maestro Verner Dietrich barges into my life. Here to teach a summer workshop, the devilish scoundrel commandeers my audition for music class, assessing me for a wicked, illicit purpose of his own. From his first piercing, icy-blue stare, I am hooked. I soon find myself near helpless against his powerful personality and passionate sexuality, willing to do almost anything just to see him fix that devastating smile on me.

Rapidly he takes me in hand, conscripting me for his workshop and claiming me for the brief weeks we will be together. What defense have I against him? Only my heart, my soul, my emotions, all of which are rapidly succumbing to his formidable spell. Time is running out, for soon he will return to his very different world. Will I have a future with my mesmerizing, mercurial maestro? Am I woman enough to stand up to his dominance and satisfy his insatiable lusts? Or will I be discarded like so many others before me?
