Shy violinist Eli never thought private lessons would turn into the most personal journey of his life. When he signs up to study under the older, elusive Gabriel Laurent, all he wants is sharper technique not the kind of longing that cuts deeper than any note he’s ever played.
From the first brush of Gabriel’s hand correcting his stance to the steady weight of his voice, Eli feels pulled into a space he doesn’t want to leave. Trust. Surrender. A need he never dared name. Gabriel sees past every wall Eli built, offering steadiness where he expected only critique.
But stepping closer to Gabriel means more than facing his own fears. Friends and family won’t easily accept the bond forming between student and teacher or the way Eli aches to give in completely.
As their connection grows outside the studio, Eli has to decide if he’s ready to own what he wants and stand by the love reshaping him.
Will he step into the music of surrender, or let fear silence the song?
