Rhapsody for Two

Previously published in the anthology How to Ruin a Duke. Simon Thorn is on the run from his past. A onetime metalworker who's transformed himself into a Renaissance man, he's worked as an actor, a tutor, and a musician. Blessed with a glib tongue, he's never met a stranger—but he fears seeing a familiar face. Rowena Fairweather is facing a difficult future. She's the last in a line of brilliant luthiers—builders of stringed instruments—and her illustrious family legacy is about to fall prey to debt. When the scandalous novel How to Ruin a Duke brings Simon and Rowena together, the solution to her problems just might lie in his mysterious past. These unlikely allies soon become lovers...but will Simon surrender his heart to Rowena, or take to his feet again?
