Solo (Symphony Hall Collection)

Graduate conducting student Kate Brenner has been on her own for a very long time. Daughter of the most detested senator in America, the press won’t leave her alone while her classmates won’t even give her a chance. It’s hard and it’s lonely, but she’ll do whatever she needs to in order to graduate in the spring. And no one presents more of a threat to that plan than the man who holds her future in his hands for the next semester—the professor who seems hell-bent on seeing Kate fail. But she has no intention of letting him hold her back. And if that means dragging her sick self out in a blizzard to deliver an important assignment directly to his doorstep, she’ll do it.

No one could have been more stunned than Drew Markham when he finds one of his students asleep in a car stuck in the snow outside his house. Especially not this particular student. He knows he’s been hard on Kate but he just can’t seem to stop himself. Every second she’s in his classroom he sees another beautiful young woman with long dark hair and deep blue eyes—the one who left him a broken, angry shell of the man he used to be.

Now, trapped together by the elements and with Kate getting sicker by the second, Drew has to set aside his painful memories of the past and Kate has to relinquish some of her fierce independence. The truth that they uncover in the process will turn their lives—and their relationship upside down. As the snow piles higher and their hearts beat faster, Kate and Drew grapple with a love that could cost them everything they've worked for.

Torn between desire and duty, loss and loyalty, the notes they play may change the course of their lives forever.
