The Virtuoso: The Windhams: The Duke's Obsession

Valentine Windham, the youngest son of the Duke of Moreland and a gifted pianist, has little interest in his father's desire to see his sons married. Instead, he devotes himself to music. When Val loses his ability to play, he retreats to the country, isolated and tormented by what has been taken from him. Ellen Markham, a widow, has withdrawn from the world seeking safety in solitude. Her new neighbor proves to be a kindred spirit—another lonely soul whose desperation matches his desire. However, Ellen harbors a devastating secret that could threaten them both. Together, they discover that while the past cannot be escaped, losing everything sometimes leads to finding what matters most. This is the third book in the Windham series.
