Each sees something in the other that promises to complete them.As Dom's web of lies grows, though, so does Ben's overwhelming need to conquer Beethoven's famous Kreutzer Sonata. But Ben's genius, which captivates Dominique, conceals a secret that may tear them apart.Alternating perspectives create suspense and momentum, romance and heartbreak.
